Obstructive Uropathy
Also known as urinary tract obstruction, it refers to a condition in which there is a blockage or obstruction in the urinary tract. This obstruction hinders the normal flow of urine from the kidneys to the bladder and can lead to various complications.
The obstruction can occur at any level of the urinary tract, including the kidneys, ureters (tubes connecting the kidneys to the bladder), bladder, or urethra (the tube through which urine passes out of the body.
The treatment of obstructive uropathy aims to relieve the obstruction, restore normal urine flow, and manage associated complications. The specific treatment approach depends on the underlying cause and the severity of the obstruction.
Treatment options include:
- Medications
- Ureteral stents
- Catheterization
- Surgery.
