Best Hydronephrosis Doctors in Kolkata

Hydronephrosis is a renal condition that causes the kidneys to swell due to a buildup of urine that cannot drain properly from the kidneys. This condition is often triggered by an obstruction in the urinary tract, which comprises the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. This obstruction can be due to kidney stones, tumours or masses, or pregnancy-related pressure on the ureters. Even congenital abnormalities such as vesicoureteral reflux can lead to urine flowing backwards from the bladder into the kidneys, causing swelling. If not addressed in time, hydronephrosis can result in permanent kidney damage or even kidney failure.

In Kolkata, with its bustling lifestyle and heavy pollution, risk factors such as poor diet and hydration habits can contribute to kidney stones a leading cause of hydronephrosis. Furthermore, conditions like an enlarged prostate gland in men may go unnoticed due to a lack of regular health checkups. However, the city’s best doctors for nephric distention treatment are well-equipped to provide efficient diagnosis and treatment plans for this condition. With world-class medical facilities and a team of the best doctors for urinary obstruction treatment available at Apollo Hospitals in Kolkata, patients can rest assured knowing they are receiving top-notch care with personalised treatment.

Types/Stages of Hydronephrosis

There are several types of hydronephrosis:

  • Ureteropelvic Junction (UPJ)-type Hydronephrosis: This is the most common type of hydronephrosis in children and is caused by a blockage at the UPJ.

  • Ureterovesical Junction (UVJ)-type Hydronephrosis: This occurs when there is an obstruction at the UVJ.

  • Vesicoureteral Reflux: This is caused by a congenital abnormality that leads to urine flowing backwards from the bladder to the kidneys.

  • Bladder Pathologies: Conditions such as ureterocele, diverticula, and posterior urethral valve can obstruct the urinary tract causing hydronephrosis.

Symptoms of Hydronephrosis

The common symptoms of hydronephrosis include:

  • Pain in the back, side, or lower abdomen

  • Frequent urination or difficulty in urinating

  • Presence of blood in urine

  • Nausea and vomiting

  • Fever, especially if a urinary tract infection develops

Tests to Diagnose Hydronephrosis

To confirm a diagnosis of hydronephrosis, the doctors for hydronephrosis treatment use the following tests:

  • Renal Ultrasound: A sound wave-based imaging method that allows doctors to visualise swelling or dilation in the kidneys and urinary tract.

  • CT Scan: This uses X-rays and computer technology to produce detailed images of the kidneys and urinary tract.

  • Voiding Cystourethrogram: Helps diagnose conditions like vesicoureteral reflux by injecting a dye into the bladder and taking X-rays to visualise the urine flow.

Treatment or Surgery Options for Hydronephrosis at Apollo Hospitals, Kolkata

The doctors for renal hydronephrosis at Apollo Hospitals in Kolkata offer a range of advanced treatment options:

  • Pyeloplasty: This surgical procedure repairs the blockage at the UPJ by removing the narrowed/obstructed part of the ureter and reconnecting the healthy portion to the kidney’s drainage system.

  • Stents or Nephrostomy Tubes: Stents are implanted to drain urine from kidneys and restore urine flow in cases of acute hydronephrosis.

  • Shock Wave Lithotripsy: This non-invasive procedure breaks up kidney stones causing hydronephrosis into smaller fragments, which are then passed out of the body through urine

  • Urinary Catheterisation: This involves inserting a catheter into the bladder to drain urine from the kidneys, especially in cases where there is a blockage or obstruction

  • Antibiotics: Used to treat urinary tract infections contributing to hydronephrosis.
