progressive azotemia, oliguria, HTN months to years after

152
Q

chronic rejection of kidney transplant - pathology?

why is urinary tract obstruction important to detect?

A
  • it’s usually easily correctible,
  • often affects young children,

A

urolithiasis

160
Q

clinical features of urolithiasis depend on
