The urinary bag of a person with post obstructive diuresis Acute urinary retention is a medical emergency and requires prompt treatment. The pain can be excruciating when urine is not able to flow out. Moreover, one can develop severe sweating, chest pain, anxiety and high blood pressure. Other patients may develop a shock-like condition and may require admission to a hospital. Serious complications of untreated urinary retention include bladder damage and chronic kidney failure. Urinary retention is a disorder treated in a hospital, and the quicker one seeks treatment, the fewer the complications. In the longer term, obstruction of the urinary tract may cause: * Bladder stones * Atrophy of the detrusor muscle (atonic bladder is an extreme form) * Hydronephrosis (congestion of the kidneys) * Hypertrophy of the detrusor muscle (the muscle that squeezes the bladder to empty it during urination) * Diverticula (formation of pouches) in the bladder wall (which can lead to stones and infection)
