Unspecified obstruction of the renal pelvis and ureter means some unknown substance or growth is blocking the outflow of urine from that kidney.

What kidney structure empties into the ureter?

The renal pelvis is the structure in the kidney that empties into the ureter. It collects urine from the calyces and funnels it into the ureter for transport to the bladder.


What is the basin like area of the kidney continuous with the ureter called?

The basin-like area of the kidney that is continuous with the ureter is called the renal pelvis. It collects urine from the kidney's collecting ducts before it flows into the ureter for transport to the bladder.


What is cuplike collection region in renal pelvis?

The cuplike collection region in the renal pelvis is called the renal calyx. It serves as a structure that collects urine from the kidney nephrons before it passes into the renal pelvis for further transport to the ureter.


What is bilateral pelviectasis?

This is a condition in which there is dilatation of the renal pelvis, the kidney part that is in direct connection with the ureter. The ureter is in direct communication with urinary bladder. If urinary bladder infection occurs, transmission through the ureter to the renal pelvis may occur resulting a more serious infection known as pyelonephritis which was reported to be more common in children born with pelviectasis. Pyelonephritis can cause chronic renal damage. Pelviectasis is usually diagnosed in the prenatal period or shortly after in newborns and is thought to be a self limited that resolves later. Dilatation in the renal pelvis in adults occurs when obstruction below the kidney level occurs either in the ureter or in the bladder near the ureteric orifice (like stones, fibrosis). Back pressure will cause changes in the kidney usually in the form of renal pelvis dilatation and calcyeal dilatation.


What is a funnel shaped sac found within the renal sinus?

A funnel-shaped sac found within the renal sinus is called the renal pelvis. It is where the urine collects before entering the ureter to be transported to the bladder.
