    Author: Qu X, Hou S, Wang X, Huang X, Xu K, Yang C.
    Journal: Zhonghua Wai Ke Za Zhi; 2000 Jul; 38(7):531-3. PubMed ID: 11832102.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To improve the etiologic diagnosis of middle-aged and elderly patients with ureteric obstruction. METHODS: The etiology and diagnosis were retrospectively studied in 141 middle-aged and elderly patients with hydronephrosis in recent 10 years. RESULT: 59 patients had ureterolithiasis, 51 ureteric cancer, 11 ureteric tuberculosis, 9 UPJ stricture, 6 uretero-cyst and 5 ureteric polyp. CONCLUSIONS: Ureterolithiasis and ureteric cancer contribute greatly to ureteric obstruction in middle-aged and elderly patients. Etiologically, B ultrasonography is suggested to be used as the first choice in diagnosis and follow-up of the middle-aged and elderly patients with hydronephrosis, especially those accompanied with hematuria.
