What to do if you are leaking a lot of urine from your nephrostomy port?

Usually, urine will flow out of the fistula tube after nephrostomy, and usually will not leak out of the fistula opening. If urine leakage from the fistula is serious, it may be caused by blockage of the fistula tube or folding of the fistula tube, which can be treated by flushing the fistula tube, replacing the fistula tube and changing the position to make the fistula tube open.
Urine leakage from the fistula caused by obstruction of the fistula tube should be treated according to the obstruction. If the obstruction of fistula tube is mild, the obstruction can be removed by saline flushing to restore the smoothness of fistula tube; if the obstruction of fistula tube is more serious, the problem of urine leakage from fistula tube can be solved by replacing the fistula tube.
The leakage of urine from the fistula caused by the folding of the fistula tube, mostly due to the improper position when lying in bed, so that the fistula tube is folded and squeezed, thus affecting its patency, can be changed by changing the position of the fistula tube folded flat, so as to make it remain open, in order to improve the problem of leakage of urine from the fistula tube.
When there is a strong leakage of urine from the fistula, the fistula should be checked to see if it is open, and if it cannot be relieved, the patient is advised to consult a doctor in time.
