Ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction is a well-studied phenomenon in terms of its etiology, implications for renal function, and clinical management. The presence of concomitant ipsilateral calculus disease, however, introduces a confounding variable into the understanding of this entity. This article discusses the relationship between renal calculi and UPJ obstruction as it pertains to their pathophysiology and clinical management as combined entities.
肾盂输尿管连接处（UPJ）梗阻在病因、对肾功能的影响及临床管理方面是一个经过充分研究的现象。然而，同侧合并结石病的存在给理解这一病症引入了一个混杂变量。本文讨论肾结石与UPJ梗阻之间的关系，涉及它们作为合并实体的病理生理学及临床管理。
