Primitive or congenital hydronephrosis is a dila- tion of renal pelvis and intrarenal calyces mostly due to an abnormality of the ureteropelvic junc- tion (UPJ), which results in an inadequate drain- age of urine from the pelvis into the ureter. Increased intrapelvic pressure and urinary stasis in the collecting ducts cause progressive damage to the kidney.

Abstract
Primitive or congenital hydronephrosis is a dila- tion of renal pelvis and intrarenal calyces mostly due to an abnormality of the ureteropelvic junc- tion (UPJ), which results in an inadequate drain- age of urine from the pelvis into the ureter. Increased intrapelvic pressure and urinary stasis in the collecting ducts cause progressive damage to the kidney.File in questo prodotto:
