The patient is presenting with hydronephrosis and a UTI. Remember, patients are prone to UTIs when urine is stagnant, so if there's an obstruction, there's an increased chance of UTI.
Being that it's a boy, there's a chance this is a posterior urethral valve that is obstructing the ureter.
cheesetouchposterior urethral valve obstructs the ureTHRA, so the bladder would be effected (dilated, thick walled) and I feel like both ureTERs would be blocked. FA18 563. I think he's a bit too old, but hard to know.+3
kbizzittYea posterior urethral valve is typically picked up prenatally on ultrasound. The other finding would be oligohydramnios, so Potter sequence would likely be involved. FA20 579+2
