Patient's question:
I am 50 years old this year. Recently, I have been feeling unwell, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The color Doppler ultrasound showed that there is hydronephrosis in the left kidney, and it is said to be 20mm. Is my condition serious?Doctor's answer:
The degree of hydronephrosis you mentioned is about 2.0 cm. In this case, the alarm indicates moderate hydronephrosis. If you carefully examine and find hydronephrosis, the first step is to confirm the cause of the hydronephrosis, and it is necessary to rule out whether it is caused by inflammation or stones. Therefore, it is first recommended that you have a thorough examination of your kidneys and ureters with a CT scan, and promptly return to the urology department of the hospital for follow-up.
