2/8. Acute renal failure from complete uterine prolapse: role of polycystic kidney disease.A 48-year-old female developed acute renal failure from obstruction caused by a complete uterine prolapse. She had polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) with previously stable mild renal impairment. She presented with rapidly declining renal function and oliguria which reversed following manual reduction of the prolapse and insertion of a ring pessary.
