Acute Bilateral Obstructive Uropathy
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
When the amount of urine suddenly drops or intense pain appears on both sides, it may be acute bilateral obstructive uropathy. It is the sudden blockage of urine flow on both sides of the urinary tract, which prevents urine from passing normally from the kidneys to the bladder.
How it can show up: A marked decrease in or absence of urine, low back or abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and a general feeling of being unwell; it is a situation that requires timely attention.
Possible causes: Stones on both sides, narrowing of the urinary tract, enlargement of the prostate, or external compression of the ducts by other structures.
Who handles it? The urologist is the specialist who studies and manages obstruction of the urinary tract and its effects on the kidney. If you notice that you stop urinating or have intense pain on both sides, seeking care immediately is the most important thing to protect kidney function.
