Abstract
Obstructive uropathy is defined as structural obstruction to urine flow along the urinary tract. It can lead to dilatation of renal pelvis and calyces. (1). However renal pelvis can be dilated without obstruction. Therefore hydronephrosis and dilated renal pelvis are not synonymous terms. The damage to renal tissue caused by these conditions often leads to obstructive nephropathy contributing to renal failure (2) and if treated early is a potentially reversible form of kidney disease. (3).The most common cause for obstructive uropathy is renal stones. Obstructive uropathy can be unilateral, bilateral or can be classified as acute or chronic.
