What are the reasons for fetal right renal hydrops

Patient's question:

Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've also noticed some swelling in my body. I feel weak all over. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was kidney disease. Could you please tell me what could be the reason for the hydronephrosis in the right kidney of the fetus?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, patients with hydronephrosis are generally caused by factors such as segmental non-function, intrinsic ureteral stenosis, and complete ureteral torsion. For patients with hydronephrosis, treatment is primarily performed through corrective surgery, anastomosis, and other surgical methods. If the hydronephrosis is severe, the patient may need to undergo kidney removal surgery to ensure the normal function of the contralateral kidney.
