  2. Hydronephrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydronephrosis

    Hydronephrosis due to a kidney stone at the ureteral vesicular junction seen on CT scan. Prenatal diagnosis is possible, [9] and in fact, most cases in pediatric patients are incidentally detected by routine screening ultrasounds obtained during pregnancy. [10]

  3. Ureteric stricture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ureteric_stricture

    Kidney stones are becoming more common with time, and their incidence is believed to increase recently due to unhealthy diet habits. The passage of kidney stones into ureters might lead to their impaction and the development of local inflammatory process around the stone in addition to the obstruction of the ipsilateral kidney and build up of pressure manifested as hydronephrosis.

  4. Kidney stone disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidney_stone_disease

    This is due to the transfer of referred pain signals from the lower thoracic splanchnic nerves to the lumbar splanchnic nerves as the stone passes down from the kidney or proximal ureter to the distal ureter. This pain, known as renal colic, is often described as one of the strongest pain sensations known. [15]

  5. Pyelogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyelogram

    An intravenous pyelogram is used to look for problems relating to the urinary tract. [5] These may include blockages or narrowing, such as due to kidney stones, cancer (such as renal cell carcinoma or transitional cell carcinoma), enlarged prostate glands, and anatomical variations, [5] such as a medullary sponge kidney. [6]

  6. Renal ultrasonography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renal_ultrasonography

    The right kidney is often found more caudally and is slimmer than the left kidney, which may have a so-called dromedary hump due to its proximity to the spleen. The kidney is surrounded by a capsule separating the kidney from the echogenic perirenal fat, which is seen as a thin linear structure.

  7. Renal pelvis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renal_pelvis

    The renal pelvis is the location of several kinds of kidney cancer and is affected by infection in pyelonephritis. [citation needed] A large "staghorn" kidney stone may block all or part of the renal pelvis. The size of the renal pelvis plays a major role in the grading of hydronephrosis.

  8. Obstructive uropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obstructive_uropathy

    This balloon is inflated with pure contrast agent via the pusher and remains in situ in the ureter to keep the previous treated stricture dilated while the expanded urothelium heals. Urine can drain through the central channel of this catheter.

  9. Ureteroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ureteroscopy

    Ureteroscopy is an examination of the upper urinary tract, usually performed with a ureteroscope that is passed through the urethra and the bladder, and then directly into the ureter. [1] The procedure is useful in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders such as kidney stones and urothelial carcinoma of the upper urinary tract. [1]
