Treatment of hydronephrosis of the kidneys
Hydronephrosis is a pathological dilation of the renal pelvis and calyces caused by impaired urine outflow. Without timely treatment, the condition may lead to renal parenchymal atrophy and kidney failure. Modern treatment methods make it possible to effectively restore kidney function and prevent complications.
When is treatment for hydronephrosis required?
- In cases of persistent pain in the lumbar region.
- If there is a decrease in urine output or complete absence of urination.
- In recurrent urinary tract infections.
- When dilation of the renal pelvis is detected on ultrasound or CT.
- If renal failure develops due to impaired urine outflow.
Methods of treatment for hydronephrosis
Conservative therapy (in early stages)
- Prescription of antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory medications.
- Control of blood pressure and metabolic parameters.
- Antibacterial therapy in the presence of infection.
Surgical treatment (in advanced hydronephrosis)
- Pyeloplasty – reconstructive correction of the narrowed segment of the ureter to restore normal urine outflow.
- Laparoscopic correction – a minimally invasive method for the treatment of hydronephrosis.
- Ureteral stenting – placement of a special drainage device to improve urine outflow.
- Nephrectomy (in severe cases) – removal of the kidney if its function is completely lost.
Main advantages of hydronephrosis treatment in Belarus
- Modern minimally invasive techniques reduce the rehabilitation period.
- Restoration of normal urine outflow prevents further kidney damage.
- Reduced risk of infections and complications.
- Improved quality of life after successful treatment.
- High effectiveness of surgical techniques even in advanced stages of the disease.
The procedure is performed in leading urological clinics in Belarus using modern surgical and minimally invasive treatment methods. Highly qualified specialists ensure accurate diagnosis, safe treatment, and rapid patient recovery.
