Seven of 36 cases had undergone kidney transplantation and were excluded from this report, And the other 7 were non-operated cases. Remaining 21 of obstructive uremic cases had surgical procedures such as urinary diversion. release of stenosis and removal of obstruction. The results of operated 21 and non-operated 7 cases were summarized as follows: 1. The incidence was the highest in the age of 31 to 40 (46.4%). 2. The most common cause of uremia was chronic glomeru1onephritis (25.7%). The next was urinary tuberculosis causing renal parenchymal damage and urinary tract obstruction (17.1%). 3. Non-operated cases showed poor prognosis in almost all cases. 4.Satisfactory results were obtained from 14 cases among 21 operated cases(66.6%).
