A) Urine forms, but the flow of urine from the kidney is obstructed.
B) Calculi and lithiasis form primarily in the kidneys.
C) Fibrous bands form along the ureters or the urethra, thereby narrowing it.

A
Feedback:
Hydronephrosis develops when urinary obstructions block the outflow of the kidneys. Depending on where the obstruction occurs, waste products accumulate in the kidney and back up into the blood, leading to ESRD. In ureterolithiasis, calculi (meaning pebble or stone) and lithiasis (meaning stone) form primarily in the kidneys. With ureteral or urethral structures, fibrous bands form anywhere along the ureters or the urethra, narrowing it and interfering with urine passage. Polycystic kidney disease consists of multiple clusters of benign tumors on the kidneys.
