Patient's question:
Suffering from this kidney hydronephrosis, she has a mild case. She occasionally experiences lower back pain, and there's nothing else. Her diet is relatively normal. I don't know what the symptoms of kidney hydronephrosis are, and I want to compare to see if her condition is serious.Doctor's answer:
A detailed ultrasound examination of the kidney can suggest the fusion of renal calyces, indicating fluid retention in the renal collecting system. The most common cause is urinary tract stones, and the fusion of the collecting system may be due to obstruction by ureteral stones. You can return to the urology department of your local hospital for follow-up, undergo contrast imaging, and determine treatment options such as surgery or lithotripsy based on the situation. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Generally, when kidney hydronephrosis occurs, active measures should be taken to relieve the obstruction to prevent long-term hydronephrosis from leading to kidney dysfunction.
