Obstructive nephropathy

Obstructive nephropathy is renal lesion from impaired urine flow causing backward pressure that disturbs normal parenchymal physiology. Obstruction may be complete or partial, bilateral or unilateral, acute or gradual, upper or lower urinary tract; the effect depends on degree and duration; early relief reverses lesions, while late obstruction causes permanent renal loss.

Common Symptoms

Abdominal mass; isosthenuria; polydipsia; ascites; fatigue; nausea; polyuria

Treatment

Medication, symptomatic treatment, supportive treatment

Prevention

First identify and treat the cause of obstruction and relieve it to restore urine flow; where obstruction cannot be removed, divert urine by ureteroileal anastomosis, considering nephrectomy when necessary.
