Acute bilateral obstructive uropathy occurs in about 5 out of 10,000 people.

In men, acute bilateral obstructive uropathy is most often a result of an enlarged prostate.

Acute bilateral obstructive uropathy is much less common in women, but may be due to:

Acute unilateral obstructive uropathy occurs in 1 in 1,000 people.

Unilateral obstructive uropathy is most often caused by a kidney stone, although injury or other conditions could cause the disorder.

The FE may also be spuriously elevated in children with adrenal insufficiency or pre-existing renal disease (such as obstructive uropathy) due to salt wasting.

Once a significant urinary restriction develops, however, it increases risks of obstructive uropathy, and even poses serious kidney damage from obstructive nephropathy if left untreated.

You have a greater risk for unilateral obstructive uropathy if you have ureteral stones and tumors, kidney stones, and tumors in nearby body structures such as the uterus and cervix.

The urinary abnormality is an obstructive uropathy in which failure of nerve signals between the bladder and the spinal cord results in incomplete emptying of the bladder (neurogenic or neuropathic bladder).

Cases judged to have been incidentally detected through transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), a procedure typically used to treat obstructive uropathy, were also identified and considered in the rate calculations to provide a clearer indication of the effect of screening on the incidence rates of prostate cancer.
