Paraureteritis

Paraureteritis is a disease that occurs as a result of inflammation of the mucous membrane of the ureter. This can impair the flow of urine from the kidneys and cause various complications.

Symptoms of paraureteritis may include pain in the kidney area, fever, chills, nausea and vomiting. In some cases, paraureteritis may be accompanied by a urinary tract infection.

Treatment for paraureteritis may include antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and surgery. Surgery may include catheterization of the ureter to remove the infection and restore normal urine flow.

Paraureteritis is a serious disease that requires timely treatment. If you experience symptoms of paraureteritis, see your doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Paraureteritis is called inflammation of the ureter, which most often occurs as a result of purulent urethritis and extends above the ureteric opening. Paraureteritis is most often caused by ureteral tuberculosis. Although there are cases of paraurethritis caused by gonococcal infection, the presence of a foreign body in the ureter, parasitic infestations and hematogenous route.

Pathomorphologically, with paraurethritis, inflammatory changes are noted both in the wall of the ureter - circulatory type with multinucleated inflammatory cells, and interstitial - focal vasodilation and hemorrhage. At the same time, the presence of neutrophilic infiltration of the affected segment of the ureteral wall is observed. In areas with damage to the muscle layer, intramural lymphadenopathy is predominantly observed. All of the above is confirmed by numerous histological data. In most patients with paraureteritis, tuberculosis of the kidney or tuberculosis of the upper third of the ureter is detected in the regression stage. However, there is also evidence that the development of paraurethritis may be associated with other pyelonephritic processes. Several patients (almost a third of patients) were diagnosed with active chronic pyelonephritis and pyonephrosis.
