Chronic bilateral obstructive uropathy is a condition that results in blocking the urine from both the kidneys. Although, the kidneys take considerable time to get blocked, if gets blocked then it results in long term blockage. The condition is called bilateral because it causes blockage of both the kidneys of the human body. The disease is quite prevalent as 1 out of 1000 people is affected from the condition. Some of the alternatives name of the condition are kidney failure-chronic blockage and obstructive uropathy-bilateral-chronic.

Bladder outlet obstruction is considered as the main cause of the chronic bilateral obstructive uropathy. Reason being; the bladder outlet obstruction restricts urine to flow out from the bladder and this eventually results in high blood pressure, swelling and damaging of the kidney. Some other causes of the condition are prostate tumors, bladder tumors, thinning of the urethra due to scar tissue or the birth defect, retroperitoneal fibrosis, etc

The condition can be prevented by going for a routine check up of the lower urinary tract disorders. Moreover, if the condition is caused by the enlarged prostate, early screening of the prostate problem helps in preventing the condition.
