There are several disorders of the ureter that are congenital (from birth). An example of this is a duplicate ureter, where there is an extra ureter running from a kidney to the bladder. Uterocele is a narrowing of the ureter which could cause urine to back up into the kidneys and damage the kidney. This is usually caused by a small tumor or hernia. A kidney stone might pass into the ureter causing blockage and a lot of pain!
The kidney attached to that ureter would not function properly. uremia could develop.
Ureteric obstruction is a blockage in one or both of the tubes (ureters) that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder. This blockage can be caused by kidney stones, tumors, or other conditions, and can lead to symptoms such as pain, urinary frequency, and kidney damage if not treated. Treatment can include medications, procedures to remove the blockage, or surgery.
