What simple technique can confirm this? The renal pelvis is located at the upper end of each ureter (tube that drains urine from the kidneys to the bladder). The three goals of imaging for ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction are to determine the presence and degree of renal obstruction, to assess renal function, and to determine the cause of the problem. Pelviureteric junction (PUJ) obstruction/stenosis, also known as ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction/stenosis , can be one of the causes of obstructive uropathy. Correction of UPJ obstruction can be accomplished by either endourologic or surgical approaches. However, complete obstruction would not have any passage of contrast even after provocation. Abrupt caliber change at the PUJ, with significant obstruction and cortical thinning as well as the reduced caliber of the left renal artery, all denote chronicity. PUJ obstruction refers to a narrowing of the junction, resulting in obstruction to the flow of the urine from the kidney to the ureter. Lawler L, Jarret T, Corl F, Fishman E. Adult Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction: Insights with Three-Dimensional MultiDetector Row CT. RadioGraphics. A three-phase CT study of the kidneys has been performed (corticomedullary, nephrographic and excretory) phases. Ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction is a blockage at the point where part of the kidney attaches to one of the tubes to the bladder (ureters). It often happens when a baby is still growing in the womb. Aberrant lower polar crossing vessels, as a cause of pelviureteric junction (PUJ) obstruction, have a reported incidence between 11-49% (2). Ultrasonography reveals fetal upper urinary tract dilatation in approximately 1 in 100 pregnancies; however, only 1 in 500 are later diagnosed with significant urologic problems. A: MAG-3 imaging offers a dynamic quantative assessment to confirm the PUJ obstruction as real ( on occasion a so called 'baggy pelvis' may mimic a PUJ obstruction. On the basis of a series of cases that were referred to the authors in their clinical practice, they found that the unprecedented quality and novel perspectives of multi-detector row computed tomography (CT) with two- and three-dimensional postprocessing allow a comprehensive, single-study assessment of the ureterovascular relationships in UPJO. Urology 1984; 23:13-18. ADVERTISEMENT: Supporters see fewer/no ads. (1996) Vessels around the ureteropelvic junction: significance and imaging by conventional radiology. In some people the junction between the renal pelvis and ureter is abnormal in apperance and function, as such the urine does not drain out of the kidney in the normal way. In such cases, more severe anomalies should be treated first. The excretory phase equates to a CT-IVU, typically undertaken at 8-10 minutes following IV contrast administration. Clinical Cases Authors. 1998 May. A frequently found defect is the presence of an aperistaltic segment of the ureter.

Case Discussion Features of pelviureteric junction obstruction on the left. Case courtesy of Dr Laura Jimenez Juan. History and Physical Examination. Pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction (PUJ obstruction) is a condition that occurs when urine flow is impaired at the point where the renal pelvis drains into the ureter. This causes the urine to pool in the kidney, which leads to kidney swelling (hydronephrosis). PUJ obstruction is the most common cause of antenatally detected hydronephrosis and the most common cause of pediatric hydronephrosis. Tumours or even infection (e.g. A: Extrarenal pelvis is a common variant. By definition, the diagnosis of UPJ obstruction signifies functionally impaired transport of urine from the renal pelvis into the ureter.
