Chronic Ureteral Obstruction
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Chronic ureteral obstruction is the prolonged blockage of one or both ureters, the ducts that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder. When urine does not flow normally, it can build up and affect kidney function.
Common symptoms: Dull pain in the flank or the back, changes in the amount of urine, and, in some cases, repeated urinary tract infections.
Common causes: It may be due to obstacles in the urinary tract, narrowings, or compression from nearby structures.
Which specialist treats it? The urologist and the nephrologist evaluate this condition; in children the pediatric nephrologist gets involved. If you have persistent discomfort in the flank or changes in your urine, having one of these specialists assess it is what is recommended.
