How to treat kidney hydronephrosis

Patient's question:

Left kidney size: 54mm x 29mm, collecting system shows a separated dark area of 10-11mm, no obvious abnormal echoes are seen inside. Right kidney size: 50mm x 26mm, collecting system shows a separated dark area, no obvious abnormal echoes are seen inside. Bilateral ureters show no dilation. Bladder is well-filled, wall is smooth, no strong echoes are seen inside. Ultrasound opinion: Mild hydronephrosis of the left kidney. Before birth, the right kidney showed a collecting system separation dark area of 7.5mm, and the left kidney showed a collecting system separation dark area of 10mm.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, your child has mild hydronephrosis and can be regularly reviewed as long as it does not worsen. If it continues to worsen, further treatment may need to be considered.
Children have weaker immune systems, so they are more prone to pediatric urological conditions. For parents, it is important not to panic and should promptly take their child to a specialized hospital for examination and treatment. Additionally, regular check-ups should be conducted for the child, and medications should be used under the guidance of a doctor.
