Hydronephrosis with ureteropelvic junction obstruction - what does this mean
Hydronephrosis with ureteropelvic junction (upj) obstruction is a condition caused by a blockage of the urinary tract. it occurs when the ureter, which carries urine from the kidney to the bladder, becomes blocked at the junction between the kidney and the ureter, resulting in a buildup of urine in the kidney. this can lead to pain, infection, and damage to the kidney.
What happens during the disease - hydronephrosis with ureteropelvic junction obstruction
Hydronephrosis with ureteropelvic junction obstruction is a condition in which the ureter, the tube that connects the kidney to the bladder, is blocked due to a narrowing of the ureteropelvic junction. this narrowing can be caused by scarring, a tumor, or a congenital anomaly. as a result, urine is unable to pass from the kidney to the bladder, causing the kidney to swell and leading to a build-up of pressure in the kidney. this pressure can cause damage to the kidney tissue, leading to further complications.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Physical examination
- Urine analysis
- Ultrasound
- CT scan
- MRI
- Voiding cystourethrogram
- Renal scan
- Ureteroscopy
- Retrograde pyelogram
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: To reduce the obstruction and improve the flow of urine.
- Administer medications to reduce inflammation and reduce obstruction.
- Administer antibiotics to prevent infection.
- Perform ureteral stenting to open the ureteropelvic junction and improve urine flow.
- Perform percutaneous nephrostomy to allow urine to bypass the obstruction.
- Perform endoscopic pyeloplasty to reconstruct the ureteropelvic junction.
- Perform laparoscopic pyeloplasty to reconstruct the ureteropelvic junction.
- Perform open pyeloplasty to reconstruct the ureteropelvic junction.
10 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Hydronephrosis with ureteropelvic junction obstruction - Prevention
Hydronephrosis with ureteropelvic junction obstruction can be prevented by maintaining good hydration, avoiding constipation, and treating any underlying urinary tract infection. additionally, if the obstruction is due to a structural issue, such as an enlarged prostate, then surgery may be necessary to prevent recurrence.
