Do I need to take anti-inflammatory drugs for hydronephrosis?

Hydronephrosis is a relatively serious disease that can cause great harm to people's health, because hydronephrosis is a manifestation of kidney inflammation and poses a great threat to life. This disease is becoming more and more common in life and has become a disease that people are afraid of. We must be cautious in the treatment of hydronephrosis. Do we need to take anti-inflammatory drugs for hydronephrosis? Let’s take a look at the explanation below.

Hydronephrosis is caused by urinary tract obstruction, which causes urine to be unable to be excreted smoothly and accumulate in the kidneys. It's like when the sewer is blocked, the water in the pool cannot be drained out. If the water accumulation is not relieved for a long time, it will squeeze and atrophy the kidney cortex, leading to decreased renal function or even renal failure. 80-90% of the body's metabolic waste is excreted through urine. Renal insufficiency can cause metabolic waste to accumulate in the body and damage various organs, which is uremia. The above is caused by severe hydronephrosis that has not been resolved for a long time; if the hydronephrosis is mild or the duration is short, it will not cause much trouble.

The key lies in what the cause of the obstruction is.

1. Once the patient has hydronephrosis, he can actually use some anti-inflammatory drugs to control the symptoms. There are many anti-inflammatory drugs used clinically to relieve the symptoms of hydronephrosis. Patients can choose amoxicillin for anti-inflammatory and antibacterial treatment, and can use erythromycin for treatment.

2. In addition to the above-mentioned drugs, it is recommended that patients with hydronephrosis can be treated with gentamicin injection. Of course, metronidazole is also a drug with relatively good efficacy in treating hydronephrosis. It is best to give treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Don't take medication on your own.

3. Regardless of whether you use gentamicin or roxithromycin to treat hydronephrosis, you need to pay attention to rest during the treatment and do not stay up too late. It is also recommended that patients with hydronephrosis need to pay attention to their diet during drug treatment. Common ones include: stones, repeated chronic inflammation causing urinary tract deformities, tumors, and prostate hyperplasia in men.

Anti-inflammatory drugs are only useful for certain inflammations. Inflammation caused by tuberculosis requires anti-tuberculosis treatment; stones require lithotripsy or surgery, and tumors require surgery. Deformities caused by chronic inflammation also require surgery.
