The prognosis of hydronephrosis is very much related to the severity of hydronephrosis, the etiology of hydronephrosis, the presence or absence of infection and the impairment of renal function.
Hydronephrosis is an increase in intrarenal pressure caused by the obstruction of urine drainage, and the prognosis is very much related to the severity of hydronephrosis, if the hydronephrosis is mild, the prognosis is better, and if it is severe, the prognosis will be worse.
In addition, the prognosis of hydronephrosis is also related to the cause of hydronephrosis. If the hydronephrosis is caused by urinary tract infection or urinary stones, it can be relieved after relieving the infection and obstruction, and the prognosis is better; however, if the hydronephrosis is caused by some tumors in the urinary system, the prognosis is relatively poor.
The prognosis is better if the hydronephrosis is not complicated by infection or the damage of renal function is mild, but the prognosis is worse if it is complicated by infection or serious renal failure.
The prognosis of different degrees of hydronephrosis is different, patients should be treated as soon as possible to reduce the adverse effects of the disease.
