Patient's question:
Right kidney occasionally painful, other symptoms are normal.Doctor's answer:
Hydronephrosis is commonly seen in various diseases, such as ureteral stones, ureteral stenosis. Due to improper urine excretion, urine accumulates, forming hydronephrosis. In severe cases, it can lead to thinning of the renal cortex, impairing kidney function, requiring active treatment. In such cases, a detailed color Doppler MRI of the kidney, ureter, and bladder is necessary. Ultimately, due to intestinal obstruction, stones, or ureteral stenosis, the stone issue needs to be addressed through MRI lithotripsy or surgical methods to remove the stones.
