Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've also noticed some swelling in my body. I feel completely exhausted. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was kidney disease. Could you please tell me what causes hydronephrosis?Doctor's answer:
The most common cause of hydronephrosis is kidney stones. In this case, we need to treat the stones. We should improve the color Doppler ultrasound of the urinary system to check the size and location of the stones. If the stones are smaller than 1.2 centimeters, we should use extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. If the stones are larger than 2 centimeters, we should decide on surgical removal. Maintain a regular schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, regulate physical and mental health, and keep personal hygiene.
