Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 37
Abstract
Ureteropelvic junction obstruction is a condition in which blockage occurs at the junction where the ureter attaches to the renal pelvis, resulting in decreased flow of urine down the ureter and an increase of fluid pressure inside the kidney. Our study included 52 children from 3rd day of life to 14 years presenting at a tertiary care pediatric hospital with UPJO from May 2006 to April 2013.The presenting features, ultra sonographic findings, operative findings, intrinsic causes, renal isotope scan findings, and histological features, special stains were analyzed. We found that UPJO in pediatric age group is mainly due to intrinsic abnormalities i.e., fibrosis, excessive collagen fibers around the hypertrophied muscle bundles. Severity depends on extent of obstruction, so early correction by pyeloplasty improves morbidity
