Understanding Hydronephrosis
Hydronephrosis is the swelling of one or both kidneys due to urine buildup caused by obstruction or reflux in the urinary tract.
The condition can affect kidney function if left untreated. Early diagnosis and treatment help prevent permanent kidney damage and related complications.
Introduction
Hydronephrosis occurs when urine cannot drain properly from the kidney, causing swelling and pressure buildup. It may result from stones, strictures, tumors, or urinary reflux.
Common Symptoms
- Flank pain
- Nausea and vomiting
- Urinary infections
- Decreased urine output
- Fever (if infection present)
Treatment Options
- Relieving obstruction (stent/nephrostomy)
- Treating underlying cause
- Antibiotics for infection
- Surgery if structural issue present
- Monitoring mild cases
Recovery & Outlook
Early treatment of hydronephrosis usually leads to full recovery. Delayed treatment may result in irreversible kidney damage and long-term kidney problems.
