What is hydronephrosis in kidney?

My cousin was recently diagnosed with 'hydronephrosis in kidney'. We're all very concerned and trying to understand what this condition means for him. Is it very serious and what causes it?

Hydronephrosis kidney ki sujan ko kehte hain, aksar pathri ki wajah se peshab rukne se ye hota hai. Barley water (jau ka pani) peene se peshab khulkar aata hai, par bina doctor ki jaanch ke iska ilaaj mat kijiye.

Bhaiyo, iska matlab hota hai kidney me pani ya peshab ka bhar jana aur sujan aana. Jab rasta band ho jata hai tab aisa hota hai. Aap turant achhe doctor ko dikhayein, laparwahi mat kariyega.

Basically, it is kidney swelling caused by a backup of urine, often due to a stone blocking the tract. Keep your hydration levels high but don't overdo workouts if you are in pain. See a specialist to clear the obstruction safely.

It means urine is backing up into the kidney, causing swelling. If it is due to kidney stones, avoid high-oxalate foods like spinach and tomatoes. Drink plenty of filtered water, but get an ultrasound done first to find the exact cause.

I ignored a dull ache in my side thinking it was gas, and it turned out to be severe hydronephrosis from an undiagnosed blockage. Don't make my mistake. Go to a urologist immediately and get a proper scan done before kidney damage happens.
