Abstract

The syndrome of "post-obstructive diuresis" corresponds to a massive polyuria and natriuresis occurring after the drainage of an obstructive acute kidney injury. Such a complication needs to be readily detected and managed because of the significant risk for haemodynamic disorders. On the basis of a clinical observation, we describe the pathophysiology of post-obstructive diuresis, as well as its diagnostic and therapeutic management.

Le syndrome de levée d’obstacle urinaire correspond à une polyurie et une natriurèse massives survenant lors du drainage des voies urinaires dans le cadre d’une insuffisance rénale obstructive. Cette complication doit être rapidement détectée vu les risques de répercussions hémodynamiques sévères. A partir d’une observation clinique, nous décrivons la physiopathologie et la prise en charge diagnostique et thérapeutique du syndrome de levée d’obstacle.
