Abstract
IVF is one of the most comprehensively registered interventions in clinical medicine. IVF is regarded as safe with very few complications. We report a woman who developed acute renal failure due to compression of both ureters from enlarged stimulated ovaries. The condition was diagnosed using ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The condition was treated with insertion of double-J stents in both ureters and resolved without need of dialysis. Compression of the ureters due to enlarged ovaries should be considered if a patient develops acute renal failure following IVF.Entities:
