What happens to the kidneys after years of hydronephrosis

Years of hydronephrosis may cause the kidneys to develop increased internal pressure, infection, abscess and so on.
1. Increased internal pressure in kidney: patients with hydronephrosis for many years may experience chronic renal insufficiency due to the fact that the water has not been discharged from the body, which may lead to increased pressure in the kidneys, compressing the renal parenchyma, which in turn impairs the renal function.
2. Kidney infection: patients with hydronephrosis for many years may suffer from inflammation in the kidney due to the undischarged fluid in the body, which may lead to infection.
3. Kidney abscess: patients with hydronephrosis for many years may have kidney abscess because the water in the kidney has not been discharged and produces pus, so the phenomenon of kidney abscess may occur.
Other changes may also occur in the kidneys after many years of hydronephrosis, so it is recommended that patients go to regular hospitals in time and standardize the treatment under the guidance of doctors.
