Renal endometriosis, if progressed is a serious localization of disease burden that can lead to urinary tract obstruction, with subsequent hydronephrosis leading to potential kidney loss. Diagnosis is elusive and relies heavily on clinical suspicion as endometriosis can occur with both minimal and extensive disease. Management technique varies but the goal is to salvage renal function and disease burden.

: Endometriosis and urogenital malformation with uterus didelphys and renal agenesis might occur concomitantly, and the question arises whether both entities are associated with each other. : A literature search was conducted in PubMed and Web of Science, using the following search terms: "endometriosis and uterine malformation, endometriosis and Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome", "endometriosis and OHVIRA (Obstructed Hemivagina and Ipsilateral Renal Anomaly) syndrome" and "uterus didelphys, renal agenesis and endometriosis". : We identified and examined 36 studies, comprising a total of 563 cases with coinciding endometriosis and OHVIRA.

Endometriosis is a common condition among women of reproductive age worldwide, with the urinary tract being the second most frequently affected extragenital organ system, particularly the bladder and ureters. Ureteral endometriosis (UE) is relatively rare, often asymptomatic, and can lead to progressive renal function loss if not addressed promptly. Early diagnosis and intervention are essential, requiring a high index of suspicion.

Müllerian anomalies are congenital conditions characterized by the incomplete development of the female reproductive tract. Women affected by Müllerian anomalies often display additional malformations of the renal, skeletal, and cardiovascular system, and are at a higher risk for infertility and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Several Müllerian anomalies have been reported in association with endometriosis, but it is unclear if all classes or anatomical variations are associated with the disease.

Article Synopsis
- Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death globally and a major concern in France, heavily influenced by modifiable risk factors like obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol levels.
- In 2015, significant prevalence rates for these conditions were reported among adults aged 18-74, with obesity at 17.2% and diabetes at 7.4%, yet awareness of these conditions was low among those affected.
- A push for better prevention methods, especially through nutrition and education, is essential to tackle these cardiovascular risk factors, with a noted importance on also addressing women's specific health issues that impact cardiovascular risk.
