Children have weaker constitutions and weaker resistance to diseases in their internal organs, making them more susceptible to various illnesses. The kidney is a very important organ in the human body. If the kidney is diseased, such as nephritis, hydronephrosis, etc., it poses a great threat to physical health. So, what are the symptoms of hydronephrosis in children?
After a child develops hydronephrosis, they often have no symptoms for a long time, and it is only discovered when there are abdominal lumps and swelling in the waist. Moreover, most lumps are discovered unintentionally and may have a cystic sensation, with relatively mild or even no pain at all.
If it is intermittent hydronephrosis, patients may experience renal colic symptoms, which are more severe and radiate along the tear source ureter. In addition, patients with intermittent hydronephrosis may also experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, bloating, and oliguria. If parents find that their baby has the above symptoms, they need to seek medical attention in a timely manner.
Kidney hydronephrosis can be treated through surgery, and the earlier the treatment, the better the effect. Through reasonable surgery, abnormalities in the connection between the renal pelvis and ureter can be corrected, thereby restoring normal renal function. When hydronephrosis is severe, the damage to kidney function is very serious, so early treatment is necessary. If the diseased kidney cannot be saved and the other kidney is healthy, nephrectomy surgery should be performed.
