How is hydronephrosis treated?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I was diagnosed with hydronephrosis in the kidney. Can you please help me to find the reason why I got it and how it can be treated?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern. It is primarily due to ureteric stone in more than 90 % of cases. Other causes can be ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction, ureteric constriction, or restriction. A proper diagnosis can be achieved after a CT (computed tomography) scan. First, a plain CT scan is done; if no stones are found, then a contrasted CT scan can be done. In this way, after proper diagnosis, we can give you treatment suggestions.
If you have any more queries, please let me know.
Thank you.
