This kidney was removed from another autopsy patient who had prostatic hyperplasia resulting in marked urinary retention and back-flow of urine from the bladder into the ureters and renal pelvis. The increased pressure inside the renal pelvis resulted in dilation of the renal pelvis (1) and pressure atrophy of the cortex (2). This change in the kidney is called hydronephrosis.
"Urinary retention" is the inability to fully empty the bladder during urination.
Hydronephrosis is dilation of the renal pelvis and atrophy of the cortex due to increase pressure from retained urine.
