Chronic Unilateral Obstructive Uropathy treatment in Monterrey

Chronic unilateral obstructive uropathy is a prolonged blockage of urine flow on one side of the urinary tract, which over time hinders emptying and can affect the functioning of the affected kidney.

Common causes: it is usually due to stones, narrowing of the urinary tract or external compression that prevents the normal passage of urine on one side only.

Common symptoms: dull pain in the side, repeated urinary infections or, at times, an absence of obvious discomfort until it is detected in a test.

Which specialist treats it? Its evaluation falls to the urologist, who studies the site of the obstruction, and to the nephrologist, who evaluates kidney function. In the face of persistent pain in the side or recurrent urinary infections, the advisable thing is to seek a timely check-up.
