The overall goal of this symposium is to provide a current, high-level summary of the state-of-the-art regarding mechanisms and management of congenital obstructive uropathy (COU) due to anatomic or functional bladder outlet obstruction, highlighting knowledge gaps and making recommendations about next steps for research to guide the care of patients at all phases of their disease course. This includes mechanisms of COU, fetal interventions, biomarkers of COU, and prediction of clinical outcomes. A facilitated round table session at the conference’s conclusion will provide opportunities to discuss research opportunities and priorities, to achieve the best future for children with COU.

1. Review genetic mechanisms of congenital obstructive uropathy.
2. Identify indications and types of fetal interventions for congenital obstructive uropathy.
3. Identify fetal and postnatal biomarkers to predict outcomes in congenital obstructive uropathy.
4. Discern the contributions of hostile bladder to clinical outcomes in congenital obstructive uropathy.
