Last reviewed 01/2018
- exclude bilateral obstruction and then commence rehydration and alkalinization of the urine.
- allopurinol treatment should started immediately.
- haemodialysis is indicated if oliguria has become established.
- percutaneous nephrostomy may be necessary in order to relieve extrarenal obstruction due to stones in the pelvis or ureters. These stones may require surgical removal or be passed spontaneously.
