Overview

Hydronephrosis is a condition where the kidney swells due to urine accumulation caused by obstruction or reflux.

Early treatment is crucial to prevent kidney damage, and options include relieving obstruction through surgery or minimally invasive procedures.

Causes and Risk Factors

Obstructions such as kidney stones, congenital abnormalities, tumors, or strictures may lead to hydronephrosis. Early identification prevents kidney function deterioration.

Diagnosis and Evaluation

Evaluation involves ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI to assess the degree of kidney swelling and identify the cause of obstruction.

Treatment may involve relieving obstruction via ureteral stent, percutaneous nephrostomy, or corrective surgery depending on the severity and underlying cause.
