Causes of Hydronephrosis

Hydronephrosis is actually a kind of kidney disease, which will have a great impact on our health. Therefore, when we encounter this problem, we cannot ignore it easily, and we must pay attention to it in our lives. So do you know what causes hydronephrosis? Let’s take a detailed look at it now. I hope that through understanding, patients can actively receive treatment.

No matter what kind of disease it is, maybe it does not have obvious symptoms at the beginning, but you must not think that the disease is not serious and does not need treatment. You must know that many diseases have a long incubation period. If you do not pay attention to treatment now, it may cause many hidden dangers to your health.

Due to the obstruction and accumulation of urine excretion from the kidneys, urine retention causes increased intrarenal pressure, resulting in gradual expansion of the renal pelvis and calyces, and atrophy and destruction of the renal parenchyma, collectively known as hydronephrosis.

Hydronephrosis is caused by enlargement of the renal pelvis and calyces due to urinary tract obstruction, accompanied by renal tissue atrophy, stenosis or obstruction of the urinary tract at any part, and disturbance of the normal neuromuscular function. The passage of urine may be obstructed, causing urinary flow obstruction. The pressure above the obstruction gradually increases due to poor urine discharge, the lumen expands, and eventually leads to kidney hydrops, dilatation, thinning of the renal parenchyma, and renal dysfunction. If there is bilateral obstruction, uremia will occur, which is a serious consequence.

The above is an introduction to one of the causes of hydronephrosis. I hope everyone can pay attention to it. Only after we understand some of its causes can we prevent it scientifically and achieve the purpose of targeted treatment. When you don’t understand this disease, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital to accept the doctor’s advice and not take medicine blindly.
