Patient's question:
Carefully check hydronephrosis 1.0cm, the baby had a urinary tract infection in October of this year. BC carefully checked hydronephrosis 1.6cm, after two weeks of treatment for the urinary tract infection, BC checked hydronephrosis 1.5cm, no significant increase, discharged 10 days later, another urinary tract infection. Hello, in September last year BC checked hydronephrosis 1.0cm, today in October the baby had a urinary tract infection, BC checked hydronephrosis 1.6cm, after two weeks of treatment for the urinary tract infection, BC checked hydronephrosis 1.5cm, no significant increase, discharged 10 days later, another urinary tract infection. Hello, is there a relationship between recurrent urinary tract infections and hydronephrosis? Is there a relationship between recurrent urinary tract infections and hydronephrosis?Doctor's answer:
Urinary tract infections are related to pyelonephritis. Under normal circumstances, blood flows through the renal artery into the glomerulus for filtration. The distal convoluted tubule, proximal convoluted tubule, and renal tubules and collecting ducts reabsorb valuable substances such as water, proteins, and glucose. The remaining substances flow from the renal calyx into the major calyx and then into the renal pelvis, passing through the ureter into the bladder. However, when hydronephrosis occurs in the renal pelvis, it is essential to identify the underlying cause—whether it is a urinary system malformation or intestinal obstruction, such as urinary system stones. In such cases, we can perform a urinary system ultrasound or a urinary system contrast examination! The care of infants is also very important. For example, the recent melamine incident can lead to the formation of stones.
