Ans: A
Feedback:
The most damaging effects of urinary obstruction are stasis of urine, which predisposes to infection and stone formation, and unrelieved obstruction of urine outflow. Most commonly, the person has pain, signs, and symptoms of urinary tract infection (UTI) and manifestations of renal dysfunction, such as an impaired ability to concentrate urine. Progressive atrophy of the kidney is caused by obstruction of the outflow of urine. Hypertension is an occasional complication of urinary tract obstruction, since urine flow is obstructed rather than renal blood flow.
