title: Obstructive uropathy.
abstract: There have been a significant number of advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology of obstructive uropathy. Of particular interest are the molecular biologic advances with respect to apoptosis, TGF-beta and the definition of the expression of certain genes. Research in the developing kidney in the fetus as it is affected by obstructive uropathy has had no significant advances in the past year.
