Ureteritis
Ureteritis is an inflammation of the ureter, the tubes that carry urine from the kidney to the bladder. It is a rare condition and is often associated with other urinary tract disorders.
Causes[edit | edit source]
Ureteritis is often caused by an infection in the urinary tract, such as a urinary tract infection (UTI). Other causes can include kidney stones, tumors, or injury to the ureter.
Symptoms[edit | edit source]
Symptoms of ureteritis can include pain in the lower back or abdomen, fever, and frequent urination. In severe cases, it can cause blood in the urine (hematuria).
Diagnosis[edit | edit source]
Diagnosis of ureteritis is typically made through a combination of medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests. These tests can include a urinalysis, ultrasound, or computed tomography (CT) scan.
Treatment[edit | edit source]
Treatment for ureteritis typically involves addressing the underlying cause of the inflammation. This can include antibiotics for an infection, medication to help pass kidney stones, or surgery for tumors or severe injuries.
