    Correct answer:

    Hydronephrosis.

    Note the dilatation of the renal pelvis and clubbed calyces. After diagnosing acute retention and placing a cathether, the bladder residual can be as much as 1,5 L of urine. Don’t be surprised to be told by the biochemistry lab that the serum creatinine is 1500 micromol/L!
