Kidney
Kidney obstruction and hydronephrosis
For hydronephrosis, a blocked ureter, UPJ obstruction, ureteral stricture, and planning for stents, drainage, or reconstruction.
What patients are usually trying to decide
Patients may be trying to decide whether pain, imaging, repeated stones, infection, or a renal mass needs urgent or scheduled care.
A urologist may review imaging, kidney function, stone history, obstruction, infection risk, mass size, and procedure options.
Procedures and appointment paths
UPJ obstruction evaluation
Review of a blockage where the kidney meets the ureter, often found through imaging, pain, or recurring infections.
