Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The incidence of hydronephrosis varies according to the underlying cause:
- Incidence of hydronephrosis following semirigid ureteroscopy was 17.8%[1]
- Incidence of hydronephrosis following percutaneous nephrolithotomy is 16%[2]
Prevalence
- The prevalence of hydronephrosis depends on the underlying cause.
- The prevalence of hydronephrosis secondary to appendicitis is 3.5%
Case-fatality rate/Mortality rate
- The case-fatality rate/mortality rate of hydronephrosis is approximately 3.1 per 100 000 individuals
Age
- Patients of all age groups may develop hydronephrosis.
Race
- There is no racial predilection to hydronephrosis.
Gender
- In younger patients ( aged 20-60 years) frequency of hydronephrosis is higher in women than men.
- Older patients(>60) frequency of hydronephrosis is higher in men than women.
Region
- There is no specific regional distribution to hydronephrosis.
