Patient's question:
Uncle has already been over 40 years old this year. Two years ago, Uncle often felt frequent urination and urgency. He also carefully noticed that his urination frequency had increased significantly compared to before. Seeing that Uncle's symptoms did not improve, Aunt became very worried and took him to the hospital for examination. The doctor found that Uncle suffered from contralateral renal hydronephrosis due to renal tuberculosis and congenital renal malformation. Is renal hydronephrosis serious?Doctor's answer:
The kidneys can repeatedly develop various bizarre malformations. Malformed kidneys can exert control over other organs. The kidneys themselves can repeatedly suffer from infections, bleeding, stones, hydronephrosis, and may also lead to renal parenchymal or renal vascular hypertension. Severe renal parenchymal hypertrophy can result in recurrent kidney failure. The severity of the condition must be determined by combining clinical diagnostic symptoms and other careful examinations.
