What happens during the disease - obstructive and reflux uropathy, unspecified
Obstructive and reflux uropathy is a condition in which the normal flow of urine is disrupted due to a blockage in the urinary tract or a malfunctioning of the bladder muscles. this blockage can be caused by an enlarged prostate, a narrowing of the urethra, or a tumor. when the obstruction is present, urine is unable to flow freely and can back up into the kidneys, causing reflux. this can lead to inflammation and damage to the kidneys, bladder and ureters. in some cases, the obstruction can cause a complete blockage of urine flow, leading to infection and possible kidney failure.
