2. hydronephrosis www.similima.com 2
3. definition An aseptic dilatation of the kidney due to a partial or complete obstruction to the outflow of urine
Two types www.similima.com 3
4. www.similima.com 4
5. Unilateral hydronephrosis By some form of ureteric obstruction, with the ureter above the obstruction being dilated
Causes
1) Intraluminal
2) Intramural ( in the
walls)
3) Extramural
obstruction www.similima.com 5
6. INTRALUMINAL
- stones & papillary necrosis in DM, analgesic nephropathy
INTRAMURAL
1) Congenital
- PUJ dyskinesia/ Achalasia of PUJ
- due to failure of trasmission of
neuromuscular impulses through the narrow
PUJ
- male:female= 2:1
- common in males on left side www.similima.com 6
7. 2) Ureterocoele
- congenital narrow ureteric orifice
3) Physioslogical narrowing of the PUJ leading to PUJ obstruction
4) Inflammatory stricture following removal of a calculus, repair of a damaged ureteric segment or tuberculous infection
5) Neoplasm of the ureter or bladder cancer involving ureteric orifice www.similima.com 7
8. EXTRAMURAL OBSTRUCTION
Tumor from adjacent structures
Eg: CA cervix, prostate, rectum,
colon, caecum
Idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis
Retrocaval ureter
Obstruction by aberrant vessels
Retrocaval ureter
Horse shoe kidney

10. Clinical features
Insidious onset of mild pain or dull aching in the loin
Attacks of renal colic
Intermittent hydronephrosis
- after an attack of acute renal pain, a swelling in the loin is found. Some hours later, following the passage of a large volume of urine, the pain is relieved & the swelling disappear “DIETL’S CRISIS”; common in hydronephrosis www.similima.com 10
11. Bilateral hydronephrosis/ ormond’s disease Result of urethral obstruction; but may also be caused by one of the lesions described above occuring on both sides
Causes
In children
- phimosis
- meatal stenosis
- posterial urethral valve
- bilateral vesico ureteric reflex www.similima.com 11
12. In young adults
- stricture urethra- due to gonococcal
urethritis
- bilateral aberrant vessels- a branch of
renal artery & veins which cross the
ureters
Middle ages & above
- BHP (common cause)
- Contracture of the bladder neck
- Idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis
Physislogical
- pregnancy due to growing foetus & partly
due to progesterone www.similima.com 12
13. Pathogenesis
In a kidney with an extra renal pelvis
- the dilatation first affects the pelvis alone( pelvic hydronephrosis) if the obstruction is not relieved the calyces become increasingly dilated & the renal parenchyma is progressively destroyed by atrophy
In a kidney with an intra renal pelvis
- destruction of parenchyma occurs more rapidly
If the disease progresses, leads to a non functional kidney
If the disease is bilateral- uraemia www.similima.com 13

15. Clinical features
From lower UT obstruction
- dull loin ache
- symptoms of bladder outflow obstruction
predominate
From upper UT obstruction
- although both systems are obstructed,
symptoms may be referred to one side only
From pregnancy
- dialatation of ureter & renal pelvis occurs
early in pregnancy & becomes more marked
until 20 th week
- results from high levels of circulating
progesterone on ureteric smooth muscles
- ureters returns to their normal size within 12
weeks of delivery www.similima.com 15

17. investigations Plain X ray KUB
USG
CT scan
Intra venous pyelography
Isotope renography
Retrograde pyelography(RGP)
Blood urea
Creatinine
www.similima.com 17
18. treatment Indications for operation :
1) bouts of renal pain
2) increasing hydronephrosis
3) evidence of parenchymal damage
4) obstruction www.similima.com 18
19. Principles of surgery
Non inflammatory kidney with thinned out cortex with hydronephrosis
(pyonephrosis- nephrectomy)
If the cortical thickness is adequate by US, even though it is non inflammatory kidney, a preliminary nephrostomy to decompress the system has to be done www.similima.com 19
20. Grades of renal pelvic diameter & management Grade 1 mild 11-20 mm
- Conservative / non operative
management
Grade 2 moderate 21-35 mm
- Conservative management
Grade 3 severe >35 mm
- Operated early
- Anderson-Hyner Pyeloplasty to prevent
permanent damage to kidney www.similima.com 20
