Introduction<\/strong>:
\nAny\u00a0 structural\/functional\u00a0 obstruction\u00a0 to\u00a0 the\u00a0 regular\u00a0 flow\u00a0 of\u00a0 urine\u00a0 is\u00a0 known\u00a0 as\u00a0 obstructive\u00a0 uropathy.\u00a0 Developmental\u00a0 obstruction\u00a0 of\u00a0 the\u00a0 urinary\u00a0 tract\u00a0 produces\u00a0 dilatation\u00a0 above\u00a0 the\u00a0 site\u00a0 of\u00a0 lesion\u00a0 and\u00a0 a\u00a0 retrograde\u00a0 rise\u00a0 in\u00a0 hydrostatic\u00a0 pressure\u00a0 causing\u00a0 structural\u00a0 and\u00a0 functional\u00a0 damage\u00a0 to\u00a0 the\u00a0 kidney.\u00a0 Depending\u00a0 on\u00a0 the\u00a0 cause,\u00a0 the\u00a0 prevalence\u00a0 of\u00a0 obstructive\u00a0 uropathy\u00a0 varies\u00a0 from\u00a0 5\u00a0 in\u00a0 10000 to 5\u00a0 in\u00a0 1000.\u00a0 In\u00a0 children,\u00a0 it\u00a0 is\u00a0 mostly\u00a0 caused\u00a0 by\u00a0 congenital\u00a0 abnormalities\u00a0 of\u00a0 the\u00a0 urinary\u00a0 tract.\u00a0 In\u00a0 young\u00a0 adults\u00a0 calculi\u00a0 is\u00a0 main\u00a0 cause.\u00a0 Associated\u00a0 UTI\u00a0 which\u00a0 should\u00a0 be\u00a0 identified\u00a0 and\u00a0 managed\u00a0 obstructive\u00a0 uropathy\u00a0 is\u00a0 an\u00a0 important\u00a0 cause\u00a0 of\u00a0 end\u00a0 stage\u00a0 renal\u00a0 disease.<\/p>\n

It may\u00a0 be\u00a0 partial\u00a0 or\u00a0 complete.<\/p>\n

Common\u00a0 causes:<\/strong>
\nRenal\u00a0 calculi,\u00a0 blood\u00a0 clots,\u00a0 congenital\u00a0 anomalies,\u00a0 tumors,\u00a0 urethral\u00a0 strictures,\u00a0 ureterocele,\u00a0 urolithiasis,\u00a0 phimosis\/paraphimosis,\u00a0 parasitic\u00a0 obstructions,\u00a0 neuropathic\u00a0 bladder\u00a0 dys-\u00a0 function,\u00a0 retroperitoneal\u00a0 adenopathy,\u00a0 bladder\u00a0 endometriosis.<\/p>\n
