Uropatía obstructiva unilateral crónica

Nombres alternativos:

Uropatía obstructiva crónica unilateral; Obstrucción ureteral crónica

Prevención:

Si la persona es propensa a los cálculos renales , debe tomar abundante agua (por lo menos 6 a 8 vasos al día) para reducir la probabilidad de que éstos se formen.

Las investigaciones sugieren que una dieta baja en sodio y oxalato, y alta en citrato reduce significativamente el riesgo de desarrollo de cálculos renales a base de calcio, por lo que se recomienda la consulta con un nutricionista para obtener mayor información acerca de estas dietas.

Las infecciones de las vías urinarias se deben tratar pronta y exhaustivamente. Se recomienda buscar asistencia médica si los cálculos renales persisten o recurren con el fin de identificar la causa y prevenir la formación de nuevos cálculos.
