Hydronephrosis treatment in Naucalpan de Juárez

Hydronephrosis is the buildup of urine inside the kidney that causes it to dilate, usually because something impedes the normal passage of urine toward the bladder. It can affect one or both kidneys and be detected at any age, even before birth.

How it may show up:

• Pain in the flank or lower back.
• Changes in the amount or appearance of urine.
• Sometimes it produces no symptoms and is discovered on imaging.

When to seek care? Persistent lower back pain, repeated urinary tract infections, or urinary changes warrant evaluation.

Which specialist treats it? The urologist and the nephrologist assess kidney function and drainage; in children the pediatric nephrologist, the pediatrician, and the neonatologist are involved, while the internist supports comprehensive care. A timely professional evaluation helps protect kidney health.
