Are there specific gynecological conditions linked to renal dysfunction?
Yes, certain gynecological conditions are associated with renal dysfunction. For example, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is linked with metabolic syndrome, which increases the risk of developing CKD. Endometriosis can lead to ureteral obstruction and hydronephrosis, potentially causing renal impairment. Additionally, systemic conditions like lupus can affect both the kidneys and reproductive organs, requiring comprehensive management.
