DISPOSITION
Medical Consult
Referred to med 2nd
Assessment on review
Acute medical problem as a result of a
chronic primary urological problem
Urology to deal with primary pathology

Referred to surgical 2nd
Advised that should be discharged
To follow up in urology clinic

ULTRASOUND REPORT
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY cont’d
As RBF progressively falls
Ischaemia & nephron loss results
Obstructive uropathy results in
obstructive nephropathy
Kidneys try to maintain excretory
function by urine re-absorption
called flow back
INTRODUCTION
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY cont’d
This compensatory mechanisms are
-pyelosinus back flow
-pyelovenous back flow
-pyelolymphatic back flow
MORTALITY
Related to etiology, degree &
duration of obstruction
Localized sequaele eg
perinephric abscess
Systemic sequaele eg sepsis
High mortality if untreated
CLINICAL PRESENTATION
HISTORY
Abrupt diminution of urine flow
Pain 2’ to stretching of the urinary
collecting system
Alteration of patterns of micturition,
common with distal obstruction
Acute or chronic renal failure
Consider obstructive uropathy in
uremia without previous hx of renal
disease
CLINICAL FEATURES
HISTORY
Microscopic or gross hematuria is
associated with stones, papillary
necrosis or tumors
Recurrent UTI; should be
investigated for urinary obstruction
Hx of recent gynecological or
abdominal surgery
Pediatrics; recurrent UTI, voiding
dysfunction eg enuresis
CLINICAL
HISTORY
FEATURES
Occupational hx important in uropathy
Bladder Ca is seen in factory workers eg
-textile
-rubber
-leather
-paint
-oil drilling
Exposure to industrial chemicals
-N-benzidine,
-Phenacetin
-napthyline
CLINICAL FEATURES
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
Signs of dehydration
Peripheral oedema, HTN, CCF
Palpable kidneys
Palpable bladder
Rectal & pelvic exam shows
BPH/prostate ca
External urethral exam may
show phimosis or meatal
stenosis
ETIOLOGY
OBSTRUCTIVE UROPATHY IN CHILDREN
Urethral & bladder outlet obstruction
-urethral atresia
-phimosis
-meatal stenosis
-posterior urethral valve
-calculus
-blood clot
-neurogenic bladder
-ureterocele
OBSTRUCTIVE UROPATHY IN
CHILDREN
Urethral & bladder outlet obst. cont;’d
Vesicoureteral reflux; more in female
Ureterovesical jxn obstruction/stenosis
Ureterocele
Retroperitoneal tumour
Megaureter as in prune belly syndrome
Ureteropelvic jxn obstruction/stenosis
ETIOLOGY IN ADULTS
URETHRAL & BLADDER OUTLET
OBSTRUCTION
Phimosis
STD
Trauma
Blood clot
Calculi
BPH
Ca prostate
Ca Bladder
Neurogenic bladder eg DM, spinal Dx,
MS
OBSTRUCTIVE UROPATHY IN
ADULTS
URETERAL OBSTRUCTION cont’d
Vesicoureteral reflux
Calculi
Blood clot
Trauma
Papillary necrosis-D.M, Sickle cell disease
OBSTRUCTIVE UROPATHY IN
ADULTS
EXTRA RENAL OBSTRUCTION
Pregnant uterus
Aortic aneurysm
Ca ureter,ca colon, ca prostate, ca bladder
Tuberculosis
Sarcoidosis
Petroperitoneal lymphoma
Surgical ligation
Fibroids
OBSTRUCTIVE UROPATHY
INTRARENAL OBSTRUCTION
Crystal formation
-Sulfonamide
-acyclovir
Protein casts
-multiple myeloma
-amyloidosis
INVESTIGATIONS
IVU
Goal standard for evaluating urinary
system
Highly sensitive & specific
Demonstrates structure & function
PLAIN RADIOGRAPHY
Poor sensitivity & specificity
Levine et al reported 45% sensitivity
for detecting ureteral calculi
INVESTIGATIONS
ULTRASOUND
Detects renal calculi but poor at
detecting ureteral calculi
Use limited to pregnant females
Doppler sonography: measures
resistive index in renal arteries as
an indirect assessment of
obstruction
Doppler also shows magnitude of
ureteral jet
INVESTIGATIONS
CT SCAN
Unenhanced helical CT has 95-98%
sensitivity & 96-100% specificity for
ureteral stone
