Abstract

Acute and chronic urinary tract obstruction (UTO) are important causes of AKI and CKD globally, and the vast majority of such patients are managed by non-renal physicians and urologists. However, there is an important role for nephrologists in the management of AKI or CKD associated with acquired UTO, and an integrated multidisciplinary pathway for complex or sick patients is worth establishing.
