Risk Factors for Post-Obstructive Diuresis Following Surgical Correction of Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction in pediatrics: A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study

Post-obstructive diuresis (POD) is a potentially serious complication following surgical correction of ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) in pediatric patients. Characterized by excessive urine output after decompression of a chronically obstructed renal system, POD may result in significant fluid and electrolyte imbalance. While physiologic POD is transient, pathologic forms require careful management. This study aimed to determine clinical and demographic risk factors associated with POD following UPJO surgery in a pediatric population.
