Your doctor will diagnose obstructive uropathy with an ultrasound. Scans of your pelvic region and your kidneys will show if urine is backing up into your kidneys. Imaging tools can also point out blockages to your doctor. Removing the obstruction from blocked ureters is the main goal of treatment.
Symptoms of a blocked ureter or urinary tract obstruction include:

In men, chronic bilateral obstructive uropathy is most often a result a result of enlargement of the prostate, also called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Other causes of chronic bilateral obstructive uropathy include: Bilateral uretal stones. Bladder tumors.
Bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) is a blockage at the base of the bladder. It reduces or stops the flow of urine into the urethra. The urethra is the tube that carries urine out of the body. The male and female urinary tracts are relatively the same except for the length of the urethra.

ICD-10 | Retention of urine, unspecified (R33. 9)
Hydronephrosis is the swelling of a kidney due to a build-up of urine. It happens when urine cannot drain out from the kidney to the bladder from a blockage or obstruction. Hydronephrosis can occur in one or both kidneys. The main function of the urinary tract is to remove wastes and fluid from the body.
The ICD code N139 is used to code Reflux nephropathy. Reflux nephropathy is kidney damage (nephropathy) due to urine flowing backward (reflux) from the bladder toward the kidneys; the latter is called vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). Longstanding VUR can result in small and scarred kidneys during the first five years of life in affected children.
The end results of reflux nephropathy can include high blood pressure, excessive protein loss in the urine, and eventually kidney failure. ICD 9 Code: 593.73. Source: Wikipedia.
