Patient's question:
I came home from school yesterday and heard from my mom that the son of my aunt's sister-in-law, who was taken for a health check-up yesterday, was carefully examined and found to have hydronephrosis in his left kidney. My sister-in-law was very sad and worried that it couldn't be cured. Hearing this, my heart ached too. I want to know if hydronephrosis in a child's left kidney can heal on its own?Doctor's answer:
According to the symptoms you described, the child has again developed kidney hydronephrosis. The most common cause is congenital kidney developmental disorders or dysplasia leading to left kidney hydronephrosis. Generally, the amount of hydronephrosis in the left kidney of a child is relatively small. In this case, it can usually be managed through strict treatment and close observation. If the amount of hydronephrosis is significant upon close observation, this situation requires treatment through kidney disease methods.
