Hypertension associated with unilateral hydronephrosis as a complication of Crohn's disease

Obstructive uropathy with hydronephrosis is a well-known complication of Crohn's disease. The treatment for this condition is still controversial. This is the case study of a 14-year-old girl with documented right-sided obstructive uropathy secondary to Crohn's disease associated with renin-mediated hypertension secondary to her obstructive uropathy. The patient had complete resolution of her hypertension following surgery, which involved only resection of the involved bowel without ureterolysis.
