Overview
Common complications of hydronephrosis include infections, hyperkalemia, metabolic acidosis, and distal renal tubular acidosis, hypertension and renal failure.
Prognosis is generally excellent, and the 1/5/10-year mortality/survival rate of patients with [disease name] is approximately [#]%.
Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis
Natural History
- The symptoms of hydronephrosis can usually develop at any age depending on the underlying cause and present with symptoms such as, flank pain/abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, burning and painful micturition, incomplete voiding.
Complications
- Common complications of hydronephrosis include:[1][2][3][4][5]
- Infection secondary to obstruction
- Electrolyte imbalance
- Hyperkalemia
- Metabolic acidosis
- Distal renal tubular acidosis
- Excessive freewater diuresis
- Hypertension
- Real insufficiency and renal failure
Prognosis
- Prognosis is generally excellent/good/poor, and the 1/5/10-year mortality/survival rate of patients with [disease name] is approximately [#]%.
- Depending on the extent of the [tumor/disease progression/etc.] at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis may vary. However, the prognosis is generally regarded as poor/good/excellent.
- The presence of [characteristic of disease] is associated with a particularly [good/poor] prognosis among patients with [disease/malignancy].
- [Subtype of disease/malignancy] is associated with the most favorable prognosis.
- The prognosis varies with the [characteristic] of tumor; [subtype of disease/malignancy] have the most favorable prognosis.
