MUUTO occurs when advanced cancer blocks one or both ureters and prevents urine drainage from the kidney. MUUTO can cause kidney failure and is often linked to rapid cancer progression and end-of-life care. Emergency admission with MUUTO causes substantial distress and complex clinical decisions. Treatment for MUUTO aims to drain the kidney, preserve renal function, improve symptoms and quality of life, and sometimes enable more cancer treatment.
