[A case of genital Chlamydia trachomatis infection with acute post renal failure].
A 29-year-old woman presented with bilateral hydronephroses concomitant with acute renal failure. Retrograde pyelography demonstrated bilateral ureteral strictures located at the lower segment of ureters. Computed tomography revealed inflammation of the left ovary and severe colon adhesion. She received the operation, i.e. left ovariectomy and colon adhesiotomy, because of a possibility of gynecological disease including endometriosis and malignant tumors. Clinical and pathological findings showed non-specific inflammation in the pelvis and ovary. A pelvic inflammatory disease due to a genital Chlamydia trachomatis was highly suspected and she was treated with targeted antibiotics. There have been no signs of hydronephroses or renal failure during six years' follow-up after the treatment. We discus this rare case of bilateral hydronephroses due to genital Chlamydia trachomatis.
