Unilateral hydronephrosis occurs when a single kidney becomes distended, or swollen, due to a backup of urine. When both kidneys are involved, the condition is called bilateral hydronephrosis.
Hydronephrosis is dilation or stretching of the kidneys that can occur when there is an obstruction of urine flow somewhere along the urinary tract, most often in the upper section. Normally, urine flows from the kidneys down through the ureters and into the bladder. But, if there is some kind of a blockage that prevents urine from draining properly into the bladder or out of the bladder, the kidney overfills with urine and hydronephrosis occurs. The blockage may be partial, letting urine pass, but at a slower rate and with increased pressure.
Most children with hydronephrosis are born with the condition although it can develop during childhood. It is the most common urinary tract anomaly (abnormality) and it is seen in wide levels of severity, ranging from a mild form, where pelvic (the part of the kidney that collects the urine) dilation is barely noticeable to so severe that the swelling occupies much of the abdomen. It is four to five times more common in males than females. It can occur in one or both kidneys. Most mild cases and even some moderate cases may resolve on their own. More severe cases usually require surgery.
There are many different kinds of urinary tract obstructions that lead to hydronephrosis, but the most common type is found where the ureter joins with the kidney, an area known as the ureteropelvic junction. A blockage at this juncture is usually due to an abnormal narrowing at the top of the ureter. The second most common site of obstruction is at the ureterovesical junction (the position where the ureter joins with the bladder). Other types of blockage may be at the junction of the ureter with the bladder or in the urethra which empties the bladder. A condition that may appear similar to an obstruction by causing hydronephrosis in some children is vesico-ureteral reflux (a backwash of urine from the bladder).
Hydronephrosis is therefore not a separate disease entity; but rather a physical manifestation of the disease process that causes impairment of urine to drain out of the kidneys, ureters and bladder. Symptoms, treatment, and expected outcome are those of the associated diseases.
