Ureteropelvic junction obstruction






        Follow-up


        After UPJ obstruction is treated, follow-up can ensure
        that the affected kidney is functioning properly. This
        may involve periodic blood and urine tests, ultrasound
        and nuclear renal scans until it is clear that the
        problem has been corrected.
        UPJ obstruction may cause blockage of urine
        drainage from a kidney. When necessary, effective
        surgery is available to correct the problem, relieve
        symptoms and preserve kidney function.
