Abstract

Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is one of the common cause of hydronephrosis, occurring in one per 1500 live births [1]. UPJO may obstruct the flow of urine from the renal pelvis to the proximal ureter resulting a dilated of renal collective system. At the initial stage, the renal pelvic smooth muscle proliferates to enhance the peristalsis of renal pelvis, However, failure of peristalsis to overcome the obstruction will a result a backpressure within the renal pelvis, and may lead to the atrophy of renal parenchyma and renal damage.
