Congenital obstructive defects of renal pelvis and congenital malformations of ureter - what does this mean

Congenital obstructive defects of renal pelvis and congenital malformations of ureter occur when the development of the ureter and renal pelvis is disrupted, resulting in narrowing or complete obstruction of the ureter and/or the renal pelvis. this can lead to a wide variety of symptoms, including pain, infection, and kidney damage.

What happens during the disease - congenital obstructive defects of renal pelvis and congenital malformations of ureter

Congenital obstructive defects of renal pelvis and congenital malformations of ureter are caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. during fetal development, abnormal development of the renal pelvis and ureter can occur due to genetic mutations or environmental exposures. this can lead to narrowing of the renal pelvis and ureter, which can lead to obstruction and can cause a range of symptoms, including pain, fever, and urinary tract infection.
