Hydronephrosis :

Hydronephrosis involves the process whereby dilation of the kidney takes place caused through urine accumulation. Normally, this condition is caused by an obstruction of the urinary tract. This could be in the form of kidney stones, tumors, some birth defects, or even stricture within the ureters which are the tubes that make urine flow from the kidneys down into the bladder. Hydronephrosis may present with flank pain or abdominal distension, oliguria or urinary tract infections.

Although the onset of the symptom may be quite trivial in some cases of hydronephrosis, hydronephrosis may even occur in barely noticeable increments if it is mild. Any form of diagnosis is possible on an imaging study, such as ultrasound, computed tomography, or MRI to see the level of edema and cause. The primary goal of the management is the removal of the obstruction causing hydronephrosis so that urine flow can be normalized. The interventions can be stenting, use of a nephrostomy tube, and surgery targeted at removing the blockage. The treatment needs to be done as early as possible to not cause damage and enable the kidneys to work properly. A urologist consultation need to be obtained for a proper management of the disease
