Obstructive Uropathy is a structural or functional hindrance of normal urine flow, sometimes leading to renal dysfunction (obstructive nephropathy).
Obstructive uropathy can be classified as either acute or chronic, and can be either complete or partial. It can affect one or both kidneys (unilateral or bilateral). It can also be classified by the location of the obstruction. Obstructions at different points in the urinary tract will cause different symptoms and will usually be treated differently.
Causes[edit]
Obstructive uropathy is commonly caused by kidney stones, tumors, enlarged prostate, or congenital abnormalities of the urinary tract. Other causes can include pregnancy, cancer, and certain medications.
Symptoms[edit]
Symptoms of obstructive uropathy can vary depending on the cause and location of the obstruction. They can include pain, blood in the urine, frequent urination, and infection. In severe cases, it can lead to kidney failure.
Diagnosis[edit]
Diagnosis of obstructive uropathy usually involves imaging tests such as ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI. Other tests can include urinalysis, blood tests, and sometimes a biopsy of the kidney.
Treatment[edit]
Treatment of obstructive uropathy depends on the cause and severity of the obstruction. It can include medication, surgery, or other procedures to remove or bypass the obstruction.
