WCN26-6843 DEEP ENDOMETRIOSIS AND IRREVERSIBLE RENAL IMPAIRMENT

Deep endometriosis is a severe form of endometriosis that can lead to significant complications, including ureteral stenosis and subsequent kidney loss. It is estimated that deep endometriosis affects the urinary system in approximately 1-2% of all endometriosis cases, with the ureters being involved in about 0.1-0.4% of cases. This involvement can lead to ureteral obstruction, hydronephrosis, and ultimately, loss of kidney function if not diagnosed and treated promptly. This study aims to highlight the ongoing health issue of kidney loss due to late diagnosis and treatment of deep endometriosis.
