Hydronephrosis of the right kidney

Hydronephrosis of the right kidney is such a disease, in which there is an increasing expansion of the pelvis, and with it, the cups of the kidney, as a result of the accumulation of urine in them. This phenomenon occurs most often because of obstruction of the urinary tract at one or another level of the excretory tract. As the pressure in the ureters increases, dystrophic changes begin to appear, which can eventually lead to the squeezing of the kidney tissue and the death of the nephrons. As a result, the functional activity of the organ is sharply reduced.

What are the stages of violation committed?

Depending on the severity of symptoms and clinical manifestations, the following stages of the disease are distinguished:

1. Stage 1 is characterized by the accumulation of a small amount of urine, which leads to an insignificant stretching of the walls of the bladder.
2. At 2 stages of the disorder, thinning of the kidney tissue is noted. As a result, the functions of this organ decrease by approximately 50%. In this case, the load is amplified by the left kidney, which compensates for the excretory function of the right paired organ.
3. The third stage of the disease is characterized by almost complete disruption of the excretory function. The left kidney does not cope with the double load, which leads to the progression of renal failure. In the absence of appropriate, timely therapeutic measures at this stage, a fatal outcome may occur. Often, this stage of hydronephrosis of the right kidney is assigned to surgery.

How is hydronephrosis treated in the right kidney?

It is worth noting that any kind of therapeutic measures can be prescribed exclusively by a doctor, taking into account the stage of the disorder and the severity of the symptoms. Therefore, there can be no question of treating hydronephrosis of the right kidney with folk remedies. In most cases, patients are placed in a hospital with a similar disorder.

There are 2 possible ways to treat this disease: conservative and radical (surgical operation). Often at 1 and 2 stages of the disorder, drug treatment is performed. It involves the appointment of drugs that reduce blood pressure (reserpine), painkillers (No-shpa, Papaverin, Spasmalgon), anti-inflammatory (Diclofenac, Voltaren). Scheme, dosage are indicated individually.

It is also necessary to say about dieting in hydronephrosis of the right kidney, which involves a decrease in protein in the diet, an increase in the volume of vegetables and fruits.

With the development of hydronephrosis of the right kidney during pregnancy, vitamin B1 is prescribed, which helps to increase the tone of the ureters. Also, doctors ensure that the infection does not join, as evidenced by changes in the urine.
