Hydro Nephrosis


A condition characterised by excess fluid in an exceedingly kidney due to a back-up of urine. Hydronephrosis is caused by a blockage within the tube that connects the kidney to the bladder (ureter). Possible causes include a kidney stone, an infection, an enlarged prostate, a blood clot or a tumour. Symptoms include difficulty urinating and pain within the side, abdomen or groin. Treatment may include antibiotics if there's an infection. In severe cases, the urine may have to be drained from the bladder or kidney.
