Obstructive uropathy

Inv.
- CT Scan: to create detailed images of the urinary tract to assess the size and shape of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder, and to identify any obstructions or abnormalities.
- IVP (Intravenous Pyelogram): This involves injecting a contrast dye into the vein and taking X-rays to assess the size and shape of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder, and to identify any obstructions or abnormalities.
- US: to assess the size and shape of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder, and to identify any obstructions or abnormalities.
- Cystoscopy: This involves inserting a small camera into the bladder to assess the size and shape of the bladder, and to identify any obstructions or abnormalities.
- Urinalysis: This involves examining a urine sample to assess the presence of bacteria, blood, or other abnormalities that may indicate the presence of an underlying condition such as urinary tract infections or kidney damage.
- Urodynamics: This involves measuring the bladder's ability to store and release urine to assess bladder function and identify any abnormalities that may indicate the presence of bladder dysfunction or lower urinary tract obstruction.

Catheterization may be temporary or long-term, depending on the underlying condition.
Surgery may be necessary to remove stones, tumors, or other obstructions in the urinary tract, or to correct structural abnormalities such as ureteral strictures or kidney malformations.

- Nephrolithotomy: This is a surgical procedure used to remove large kidney stones that cannot be passed naturally or broken up using lithotripsy.
The procedure involves making an incision in the back to access the kidney, removing the stone, and closing the incision.
- Ureteroscopy: This is a surgical procedure used to remove stones or other obstructions from the ureter.
The procedure involves inserting a small camera called a ureteroscope into the ureter to locate the obstruction, and then removing it using special instruments.
- Pyeloplasty: This is a surgical procedure used to correct ureteral strictures or other structural abnormalities that are causing obstruction in the urinary tract.
The procedure involves making an incision in the back to access the kidney, correcting the structural abnormality, and closing the incision.
- Nephrectomy: This is a surgical procedure used to remove a kidney that is severely damaged or diseased due to obstructive uropathy. The procedure involves making an incision in the abdomen to remove the affected kidney.
- Ureteral Reimplantation: This is a surgical procedure used to correct vesicoureteral reflux, a condition in which urine flows back into the ureters from the bladder, causing obstruction and infection.
The procedure involves repositioning the ureters to prevent reflux and correct the obstruction.
- Cystectomy: This is a surgical procedure used to remove the bladder due to obstructive uropathy caused by bladder cancer or other conditions.
The procedure involves making an incision in the abdomen to remove the bladder and create a new pathway for urine to flow.
- Stent Placement: This involves inserting a tube called a stent into the ureter to bypass the obstruction and allow urine to flow freely.
Stent placement may be temporary or long-term, depending on the underlying condition.
- Lithotripsy: This involves using shock waves to break up stones in the urinary tract, allowing them to pass more easily. Lithotripsy may be used to treat stones in the kidneys, ureters, or bladder.
- Dilation: This involves using a balloon catheter to widen the ureter or other narrowed areas of the urinary tract, allowing urine to flow more easily. Dilation may be necessary to correct ureteral strictures or other structural abnormalities.

Obstructive uropathy refers to the obstruction or blockage of the urinary tract, which can lead to a variety of complications such as hydronephrosis, urinary tract infections, kidney damage, and kidney failure.
