Urinary tract infection - children
Chronic unilateral obstructive uropathy is a condition in which there is long-term blockage of one of the tubes (ureters) that drains urine from the kidneys.

Likely the most common reason to have unilateral hydronephrosis is a kidney stone that causes obstruction of the ureter.

Incidence and Prevalence: The incidence of unilateral hydronephrosis (involvement of only one kidney) is approximately 1:100 ("Unilateral Hydronephrosis"). Hydronephrosis is found in 3.1% of all individuals at autopsy (Maniam).

In England, it is estimated each year that around 1 in every 300 people has one kidney that is affected by hydronephrosis (unilateral hydronephrosis), while 1 in every 600 people have both affected (bilateral hydronephrosis).
