Introduction
Obstructive uropathy occurs when urine flow is blocked at any point in the urinary tract, causing pressure buildup and kidney damage. The obstruction may be partial or complete and can affect one or both kidneys.
Common Symptoms
- Reduced urine output or urinary difficulty
- Flank or abdominal pain
- Swelling and fluid retention
- Blood in urine
- Recurrent urinary infections or fever
Treatment Options
- Removal of urinary obstruction
- Catheterization or stent placement
- Surgical correction when required
- Antibiotics for associated infections
- Kidney function monitoring and supportive care
Recovery & Outlook
Early relief of obstruction usually results in significant recovery of kidney function. Delayed treatment increases the risk of permanent kidney injury and recurrent complications.
