A schematic cross-section of a kidney shows severe hydronephrosis, with a massively dilated renal pelvis and calyces (pelvicalyceal system, PCS) compressing a thinned cortical and medullary parenchyma. The organ, part of the upper urinary tract within the urinary system, connects to an expanded ureter, indicating urinary outflow obstruction at or distal to the ureteropelvic junction (UPJ). In anatomy, pathology, nephrology, and urology, this illustrates how obstruction elevates intrapelvic pressure, causing parenchymal atrophy and potential loss of glomerular filtration.
