Genital prolapse is associated to a greater concurrence of repeat urinary infections, stress urinary incontinence, arterial hypertension and obstructive uropathy with a higher or lower degree of renal impairment. Incidence of uropathy in the genital prolapse setting ranges between 4 and 13%. This paper presents a female patient with renal insufficiency secondary to bilateral obstructive uropathy caused by a concomitant genital prolapse. A brief revision is made of the pathophysiological, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects in the literature. The need to perform both prone and standing urographic studies is emphasized; also a study of the renal function should be performed in these patients in order to establish the appropriate treatment and avoid major complications and renal function impairment.
