In this week’s episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast, we’re chatting about an increasingly common condition - ureteral obstruction. These patients present often markedly painful and with post-renal AKI, which can be life-threatening if bilateral obstructions are present and often require intensive treatment and nursing care.

They’re being diagnosed more and more often now than ever, particularly in cats - and there is a LOT we can do as nurses and technicians to support these patients. If you want to know how these obstructions occur, the signs we see, and how we treat and care for these patients, I’ve got you covered in today’s episode.
