Chronic Bilateral Obstructive Uropathy

Chronic bilateral obstructive uropathy is a condition in which urine flow is hindered for a prolonged time on both sides of the urinary tract, which can cause a buildup of urine and, over time, affect kidney function.

Possible symptoms: It may present with difficulty or changes when urinating, pain in the lower back or abdomen, repeated urinary infections and, in some cases, no obvious discomfort at first.

When to seek care? It is prudent to consult in the face of persistent lower back pain, notable changes when urinating or frequent urinary infections.

Who treats it? Its management involves the urologist and the nephrologist, and in children the pediatric urologist. Detecting the cause of the obstruction in a timely manner with a specialist helps protect kidney health.
