A ureteral obstruction is a blockage in one or both of the tubes (ureters) that lead from the kidneys to the bladder. Ureteral obstruction can be a curable condition. However, if it's not treated, symptoms can quickly move from mild (pain, fever, infection) to severe (loss of kidney function, sepsis, even death).
