Kidney damage from blocked urine flow — a common, often reversible cause of CKD and AKI.
Causes include prostate enlargement, stones, pelvic masses, and strictures. Presentation ranges from asymptomatic hydronephrosis to anuria and AKI. Relief of obstruction (catheter, stent, nephrostomy) often recovers function — recovery depends on duration. Post-obstructive diuresis requires careful fluid management.
A sudden drop in kidney function over hours to days - reversible if caught early, but a major risk factor for chronic kidney disease.
Hard mineral deposits that form in the kidneys - most commonly calcium oxalate - causing pain, blood in urine, and repeated episodes.
