Urinary tract obstruction is a common problem encountered by urologists, primary care physicians, and emergency medicine physicians. Urinary tract obstruction can occur at any point in the urinary tract, from the kidneys to the urethral meatus. It can develop secondary to calculi, tumors, strictures, anatomical abnormalities, or functional abnormalities. Obstructive uropathy can result in pain, urinary tract infection, loss in renal function, or, possibly, sepsis or death. Thus, suspected cases of urinary tract obstruction merit consultation with a urologist for evaluation.
