Dr. Vidyashankar - Nephrologist and Transplant Physician in Bengaluru

Myth & Fact: Hydronephrosis in Children Hydronephrosis in children means swelling of the kidney due to urine buildup, often caused by a blockage or abnormal urine flow. Myth: Hydronephrosis means the kidneys have stopped working or that every child needs surgery. Fact: Many mild cases improve on their own and may only require regular monitoring. However, children diagnosed with hydronephrosis before birth or after birth should be evaluated and followed up appropriately. Early detection helps protect kidney function and prevent complications.
