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.
