Patient's question:
The baby just came out with problems, and it turns out to be severe hydronephrosis. How can such a small baby get such a serious illness? Everyone is in disbelief. I'll ask everyone, what causes fetal hydronephrosis? Thank you for your replies. Thanks.Doctor's answer:
Generally, fetal hydronephrosis is primarily detected through various obstetric examinations, especially ultrasound, which can reveal fetal hydronephrosis. Common causes include congenital ureteral stenosis in the fetus. Sometimes, intestinal obstruction may occur at the junction between the kidney and ureter, or between the ureter and bladder, leading to this condition. Additionally, conditions such as a horseshoe-shaped kidney or kidney malformations can also cause hydronephrosis.
