Hi Ana! Right-if no reflux was shown previously by VCUG, should be O.K. on that. What is a pratial UPJ obstruction?

Guest guest Posted November 21, 1999 Report Share Posted November 21, 1999 Cheryl: UPJ is uretero-pelvic-junction obstruction. since it's partial, there is no complete blockage, so he needs no treatment other than yearly follow up.
