Ultrasound Video showing a Ureterovesical junction (UVJ) obstruction.

This video shows a Ureterovesical junction (UVJ) obstruction. A ureterovesical junction (UVJ) obstruction is a blockage to the area where the ureter meets the bladder. Ureterovesical junction obstruction (UVJO) is the result of an anatomic or a functional abnormality in the distal segment of the ureter. What is the ureterovesical junction (UVJ) obstruction? The ureterovesical junction is located where the ureter (the tube that drains urine from the kidney) meets the bladder. Ureterovesical junction (UVJ) obstruction refers to a blockage to this area. Ureteral obstruction is a blockage in one or both of the tubes (ureters) that carry urine from your kidneys to your bladder. Ureteral obstruction can be curable. 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. Ureteral obstruction is fairly common. Because it's treatable, severe complications are rare. Ureteral obstruction might have no signs or symptoms. Signs and symptoms depend on the site of obstruction, whether it's partial or complete, how quickly it develops, and whether it is unilateral or bilateral. Signs and symptoms might include:- Pain Changes in the amount of urine produced Difficulty in urinating Blood in the urine Repeated urinary tract infections High blood pressure (hypertension) Causes Duplication of the ureter. An abnormality where the ureter connects to the bladder or the kidney. Ureterocele. Retroperitoneal fibrosis. Other possible causes Ureteral stones Severe constipation, which is mostly seen in children but also occurs in adults Cancerous and noncancerous tumors Internal tissue growth, such as endometriosis in females Long-standing swelling of the ureter wall, usually due to diseases such as tuberculosis or a parasite infection called schistosomiasis
