Ureteral obstruction may be caused by:
What are the signs and symptoms of ureteral stones?
A ureteral obstruction is a blockage in one or both of the ureters. Ureters are the tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder. Ureters can become blocked for a variety of reasons. A ureteral obstruction prevents urine from moving into your bladder and out of your body.
Hydronephrosis with renal and ureteral calculous obstruction N13. 2 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.

A ureteral obstruction is a blockage in one or both of the tubes (ureters) that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder. Ureteral obstruction can be cured. However, if it's not treated, symptoms can quickly move from mild — pain, fever and infection — to severe — loss of kidney function, sepsis and death.
What is obstructive uropathy? Obstructive uropathy is when your urine can't flow (either partially or completely) through your ureter, bladder, or urethra due to some type of obstruction. Instead of flowing from your kidneys to your bladder, urine flows backward, or refluxes, into your kidneys.
ICD-10 code N35. 9 for Urethral stricture, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the genitourinary system .
The term ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction describes a blockage to this area. The obstruction impedes the flow of urine down to the bladder, causing the urine to back up in the kidney and dilate it (hydronephrosis).
Crossing vessels usually enter the lower pole of the kidney through the ventral side of the ureteropelvic junction, where mechanical compression or traction occurs, resulting in obstruction and deformation of the local ureter, poor drainage of urine, and hydronephrosis [3].
Ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction is a blockage in the renal pelvis of the kidney. The renal pelvis is located at the upper end of each ureter (tube that drains urine from the kidneys to the bladder).
The following may be signs of kidney stones that need a doctor's help: extreme pain in your back or side that will not go away. blood in your urine. fever and chills. vomiting. urine that smells bad or looks cloudy.
vomiting. urine that smells bad or looks cloudy. a burning feeling when you urinate. Condition marked by the presence of renal calculi, abnormal concretions within the kidney, usually of mineral salts. Crystals in the pelvis of the kidney.
Most kidney stones pass out of the body without help from a doctor. But sometimes a stone will not go away.
