Overview

The goal of treatment for hydronephrosis is to restart the free flow of urine from the kidney and decrease the swelling and pressure that builds up and decreases kidney function.The initial care for the patient is aimed at minimizing pain and preventing urinary tract infections. Otherwise, surgical intervention may be required.

Medical Therapy

  • In order to reduce the risk of permanent kidney injury, the blockage of urine may need to be drained if hydronephrosis is severe enough.[5]
  • It is recommended to give pain medications and antibiotics to be patient before initiating the surgical intervention.

Mild to moderate hydronephrosis in adults

Severe hydronephrosis

  • Surgery may be the treatment of choice to eliminate the severity of the blockage or even correct the reflux.

Bilateral hydronephrosis

Severe unilateral hydronephrosis in infants

Moderate and mild unilateral hydronephrosis in infants

Antibiotic prophylaxis
