vorgeschaltet

German to English Medical Medical (general) Urology
This is taken from a medical report about a patient with hydronephrosis and nephrolithiasis:

Nephrolithiasis beidseits. Ureterolithiasis rechts prävesikal mit einem singulären Konkrement und konsekutivem Harnaufstau II - III° der vorgeschalteten ableitenden Harnwege. Keine Fornixruptur.

I'm confused because vorgeschaltet and ableitend seem to be opposites.

Nephrolithiasis on both sides. Ureterolithiasis right prevesical with a singular concretion and consecutive urinary retention II - III° of the upstream urinary tract. No rupture of the fornix.

Ableitende Harnwege = Urinary tract

Ableitende Harnwege = Urinary tract


Die ableitenden Harnwege sind diejenigen anatomischen Strukturen, über die der Urin aus den Nieren abtransportiert, zwischengespeichert und zuletzt ausgeschieden wird.

Reference:

vorgeschaltet means it is upstream
"ableitende Harnwege" is the urinary tract (collection system)

Because of the obstruction the preceding/upstream parts are getting dilated.

Hydronephrosis is a complication that usually results from obstruction of the ureteral flow, promoting dilation of the upstream collecting system. In this case, there was previous obstruction due to a stone impacted on the ureter. Examination performed to monitor the urological clinical picture.
