After pumping for severe hydronephrosis, it is possible to obtain some degree of improvement in kidney function when the cause of fluid accumulation is removed. However, if the kidney is damaged more seriously due to compression, it may be difficult to recover completely.
Severe hydronephrosis pumping is to relieve the pressure inside the kidney and improve the renal function, whether it can be fully recovered depends on the degree of previous kidney damage and whether the primary factors are removed, and its treatment is generally divided into two aspects.
Treatment is preferred to puncture and drainage, which can drain the fluid accumulated inside the kidney, temporarily reduce the pressure of the kidney, stop further compression damage, and improve the renal function to a certain extent. After that, we should actively find out the cause of fluid accumulation, if the cause of fluid accumulation is not removed, even after puncture and drainage, renal fluid accumulation will recur.
The causes of hydronephrosis are generally categorized into primary and secondary. Primary causes are mostly congenital factors, i.e. abnormal and tortuous shape of renal ureter, resulting in poor urine drainage, accumulation in the renal pelvis and ureter, and compression of renal parenchyma. Secondary factors mainly include obstruction of the renal pelvis and ureter by kidney stones and tumors, etc. Surgical intervention is needed to relieve the obstruction.
Severe hydronephrosis is a more serious problem, so you must actively cooperate with your doctor for examination and treatment, and not blindly administer treatment on your own.
