How many mm is considered severe for hydronephrosis?

Hydronephrosis is the accumulation of urine in the kidneys. This disease has certain adverse effects. Hydronephrosis can easily cause damage to our kidney function. If the condition worsens, it will cause renal abscesses. If you have this disease, you must seek medical treatment in time to excrete this urine in time to relieve kidney function and relieve renal necrosis. So what are the causes of hydronephrosis?

1. Intrinsic ureteral stenosis. If you have intrinsic ureteral stenosis, it is easy to cause muscle cell damage, which will block the transmission of urine and eventually cause hydronephrosis.

2. The blood vessels are compressed. If the pleural junction is blocked and restricted during the embryonic stage, water retention in the kidneys will occur.

Kidney function water retention has certain serious consequences. So how many mm of kidney function water retention is considered serious?

There are certain levels of hydronephrosis. The larger the level of hydronephrosis, the more serious the condition. The expansion level of mild hydronephrosis is 20 to 30 mm. If we have mild to moderate hydronephrosis, the body will have mild symptoms, and the renal pelvis will be more obvious, with the main expansion level being 30 to 40 mm. Once the hydronephrosis exceeds 50 mm, it indicates that the condition is very serious and the renal volume has already increased in a disorderly manner. If we have hydronephrosis, we must seek medical treatment in time, pay attention to the volume of the renal function, and do not let the volume increase too much.

The treatment of hydronephrosis must be immediate. So how to treat hydronephrosis?

1. Medication treatment. If you have hydronephrosis, you can take some therapeutic drugs that are conducive to urination and drainage. In addition, you can also take certain antiviral drugs.

2. Surgery. Once hydronephrosis worsens and causes malfunction of kidney tissue, surgery is necessary. Surgery requires cleaning and drainage of kidney function.

Hydronephrosis harms our life and health. It is a disease that we should pay the most attention to. After suffering from hydronephrosis, we must carefully check the cause of the disease and carry out symptomatic treatment. Hydronephrosis can be cured according to certain measures, as long as we go to the hospital for treatment in time.
