Barts and The London Urology Centre >> Our services >> Blockage of the urinary system
Obstructive uropathy means a blockage of any part of the urinary system. Blockages can be caused by kidney stones, organ growth in old age, or malformations such as the narrowing of a kidney outlet.
Treatment is tailored according to the patients needs and can include drugs and, if necessary, surgical removal of the obstruction.
