A member asked:

What to do if my grandpa is 93 and has a kidney obstruction?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Kidney obstrcution: I have some questions for you. Does he have difficulty in urinating? He he had a renal ultrasound that shows he is obstructed? If he has a proven obstruction, he needs to see a urologist for evaluation and treatment.
