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 the grading standard for kidney cysts is on ultrasound?Doctor's answer:
Hello, hydronephrosis can be divided into three levels—mild, moderate, and severe—based on the depth of fluid accumulation in the ultrasound. Mild hydronephrosis has no impact on kidney function, while severe hydronephrosis exerts a controlling effect on the renal parenchyma, leading to abnormal kidney function. After detecting hydronephrosis, it is important to actively identify the cause of sepsis. Common causes include kidney stones and ureteral stenosis. Treat the primary disease to prevent hydronephrosis from exacerbating and causing harm to the renal parenchyma.
