What should be done if a baby has a single kidney and hydronephrosis?

Patient's question:

My baby is a premature child, and I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has been experiencing a series of conditions, and I am also very worried, afraid that the child's condition will worsen. What should I do if the infant has a single kidney and hydronephrosis?

Doctor's answer:

A newborn baby has hydronephrosis and should undergo surgery, the purpose of which is to protect kidney function. The surgical method is dismembered pyeloplasty (Anderson procedure), which can be performed through open surgery or minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery. The child is troubled by neonatal diseases, so the mother must take the child to seek medical treatment immediately, avoiding blind medication to alleviate symptoms. For parents, it is important to observe the changes in the child's symptoms and do their best to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
