If there is an obstruction in the flow of urine from the kidneys, this will cause the urine to become backed up within the kidney. This could cause major issues within the body. The function of the kidneys is to release toxins from the body. If the kidneys are unable to remove the toxins from the body, it will cause damage to the kidneys, further impairing their function and poisoning the body. If the kidneys are damaged, one may have to undergo dialysis to filter the toxins from the body.

What is the relationship between serum and urine in terms of detecting certain medical conditions?
Serum and urine are both bodily fluids that can be used to detect certain medical conditions. Serum is the clear liquid portion of blood that remains after blood has clotted, while urine is the liquid waste product excreted by the kidneys. Certain medical conditions can be detected by analyzing the levels of specific substances or markers in either serum or urine. For example, kidney function can be assessed by measuring levels of creatinine in both serum and urine. Additionally, certain diseases may cause specific substances to be present in either serum or urine, providing valuable diagnostic information.

Hydroureterosis may result from an obstruction of the urinary system either at the end of the ureter (see "ureterocele") or past the ureter (bladder, urethra, penis/vagina). Another cause of hydroureterosis may be vesicoureteral reflux. This is an anatomical problem resulting in urine flushing backwards from the bladder through the ureters and towards the kidneys, instead of out through the urethra when one attempts to urinate.
