This is an automatically translated article.

Obstruction of the urinary tract is a fairly common condition in clinical practice due to various causes. This blockage causes urine to pool in the kidneys, leading to increased pressure in the renal pelvis and collecting ducts. If this condition lasts for a long time, it will cause the kidneys to dilate, the renal parenchyma thin and the urine to back up into the general circulation, even causing acute kidney failure, pyelonephritis or pyelonephritis. Percutaneous pyelonephritis is considered an effective temporary solution to the obstruction until the causes of the obstruction are resolved.
