• Ureteral Disorder

  The most common underlying disorder was ureteral transitional cell cancer (TCC). Men were found to have more frequent underlying chronic ureteral disorders with chronic renal failure when compared to women. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The diagnosis, workup, and treatment are outlined. Consistent with radiographic findings, the stone was a primary vaginal stone which eroded into the bladder, the nidus of the stone being a vaginal foreign body. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

[…] providing insufficient utility as a single diagnostic test in the evaluation of children suspected of having VUR, such as those presenting with prenatal hydronephrosis or urinary tract infection (UTI).[2] VCUG is the method of choice for grading and initial workup [en.wikipedia.org]

This modality provides the same information as IVP without depending on renal function and can be used when the risks of IVP are considered too great Ultrasonography – This is the procedure of choice for determining the presence of hydronephrosis See Workup [emedicine.medscape.com]

Complications with this type of treatment, particularly ureteral obstruction, are rare. Very few patients with delayed obstruction have been reported in the literature. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Patients with malignant ureteral obstruction generally have a poor prognosis and are often difficult to treat. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment and prognosis Treatment depends on the underlying cause. In a majority of congenital cases, the condition is benign, and usually, no intervention is required. [radiopaedia.org]

The prognosis of ureteral endometriosis depends on the time of diagnosis. [karger.com]

The etiology of this patient's papillary necrosis was likely due to a combination of hypovolemia, systemic acidosis from the ingestion, and direct toxicity of the substance on the renal vasculature. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

It may present in both pediatric and adult populations although they tend to have differing etiology. The estimated incidence in pediatric populations is ~1 per 1000-2000 newborns, and there is a male predominance (M:F = 2:1). [radiopaedia.org]

METHODS: Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results-Medicare database, we identified patients aged 65 or older with stage IV (n = 10,848) or recurrent (n = 7,872) prostate cancer. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Laparoscopic and robotic-assisted laparoscopic procedures are often imitation of classical open procedures in laparoscopic or robotic-assisted laparoscopic environments. [8] Epidemiology[edit] It has been estimated that VUR is present in more than 10% [en.wikipedia.org]

Epidemiology Age Urinary tract obstruction occurs most commonly in the young and the old: In older men, this is a relatively common condition due to prostatic enlargement: Incidence of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTs)/BPH averages 15 per 1,000 man-years [patient.info]

Decreased production of osmolytes in complete obstruction better elucidates the pathophysiology of progression from renal compensatory mechanisms to irrecoverable changes. [xlink.rsc.org]

Tubular proteinuria has been observed following unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO), suggesting megalin dysfunction; however, the pathophysiological mechanism has not been determined. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
