“…If positioning the patient on the unaffected side (with antibiotic therapy if appropriate) fails to relieve the situation, then ureteral catheterization or nephrostomy may be required. TypicalIy, the pain is immediately relieved by ureteric catheterization and the urine can be sterile or infected (Schloss & Solomkin 1952). Corrective surgery is best delayed until reassessment in the postpartum period (Meares 1978).…”

“…How ever, in vivo and in vitro studies have been carried out with contradicting results [4,5,7,8]. In favor of an obstructive cause of dilatation are the facts that: (1) only the upper ureter is found dilated sug gesting ureteral compression by the gravide uterus at the level of the pelvic brim [3]; (2) a preponderance of right sided hydronephrosis in approximately 85% of cases in accordance with the different course of the right and left ureter when they cross the iliac vessels [3,5,15], and, (3) studies measuring intraureteral tonus at different lev els of the ureter have shown a significant difference between pregnant and nonpregnant women [9,10].…”

“…Studies have shown that up to 90% of pregnant women show some degree of asymptomatic dilatation of the calyces, the renal pelves and the upper two thirds of the ureters. Dilatation develops during the second tri mester of pregnancy, becomes maximal during the third trimester and reverts to normal within a few weeks post partum [2][3][4][5][6].This case report shows that total bilateral ureteral obstruction can occur in pregnancy with a normal medi cal history and an uneventful prenatal record as early as in the mid trimester. It also emphasizes that it is possible to carry through the pregnancy to the term, considering the maturity of the fetus as well as the health of the mother.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] van Wagenen and Jerkins4) carried out some experiments in pregnant rhesus monkeys, stating that the dilatation of the upper urinary tract is dependent primarily upon the endocrine function of the placenta and secondarily upon the increased weight of the uterus with its contents during the pregnancy.…”
