Abstract
Introduction: Obstructive acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious complication of bladder tumors, often indicating advanced disease and poor prognosis. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study in the urology department of Ibn Rochd University Hospital (Casablanca) between January 2021 and December 2023, including 44 patients admitted for obstructive AKI secondary to bladder tumors. Results: The mean age was 67 years with a strong male predominance (93%). Hematuria (68%), flank pain (59%), and lower urinary tract symptoms (52%) were the most frequent presenting signs. The prevalence of obstructive AKI among patients with bladder tumors was 33%. Management was based on emergency urinary drainage and etiological treatment. Conclusion: Obstructive AKI is a marker of poor prognosis in bladder cancer. Early and multidisciplinary management improves patient outcomes.
