Is moderate hydronephrosis very serious?

Moderate hydronephrosis is relatively serious, so this disease must be identified and treated scientifically. Traditional Chinese medicine can be used for conditioning, but if conservative treatment is ineffective, then surgical treatment is recommended.

1. Degree of hydronephrosis indicates that there is obvious inflammation, and anti-inflammatory treatment must be given first.

Polycystic kidney disease is an autosomal genetic disease. Currently, there is no cure, only symptomatic treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine can be used for treatment. It can eliminate symptoms, control the development of cysts or reduce their size, stabilize the condition, restore renal function to normal or near normal, and achieve the goal of clinical control.

2. There is currently no way to eradicate polycystic kidney disease, but as long as it is properly controlled, you can live a healthy life with the disease! The surgical treatment of Western medicine is undoubtedly a trauma to the kidneys. While the large cysts are removed during the operation, the growth rate of small cysts increases and they grow rapidly, which in turn causes damage to the kidneys. If the disease recurs over a long period of time, it will inevitably lead to the occurrence of renal insufficiency and uremia. The best treatment for polycystic kidney disease should be early treatment with traditional Chinese medicine, which can fundamentally inhibit the production of cyst fluid, shrink cysts, and protect kidney function.

3. Regarding congenital ureteral stenosis, it is not a problem if there is no obvious hydronephrosis. If hydronephrosis occurs, surgery is still required to preserve kidney function. Generally, it will not be life-threatening and will not affect reproductive function.

Principles of treatment of ureteral stricture:

1. In case of ureteropelvic junction stenosis, percutaneous renal puncture with cold knife incision of the stenosis, balloon dilatation and stent placement, or open shaping surgery can be performed.

2. If the ureteral stenosis is short, a ureterodilator catheter can be inserted through the stenosis under direct vision with a ureteroscope to dilate the ureter.

3. If the lower ureter is narrow and intracavitary dilation fails, the stricture can be removed and bladder reimplantation or bladder wall flap ureteroplasty can be performed.

4. If the upper and middle sections of the ureter are narrow and intracavitary dilation fails, the narrow section can be removed and end-to-end anastomosed. After long resection of the narrow section, intestinal ureteral replacement can be performed. 5. After ureteral shaping or anastomosis, an 8FDJ tube should be placed and retained for 4-6 weeks.
