Left Kidney Hydronephrosis
Does anyone know any good medicine for moderate hydronephrosis in left kidney. The ultrasound report says mild obstruction however, no stones in kidney found. The symptoms are on and off pain in the left side kidney region. The urine passing is without pain and normal in color.asimkhan79 on 2010-03-31
This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
It is essential that you investigate the reason for the 'moderate hydronephrosis in left kidney. The ultrasound report says mild obstruction however, no stones in kidney found.'
Some Calculi are not visible on X'rays but they usually are identified on Ultrasound scans.
The therapy that can be prescribed will depend on the reason for the blockage and it is in your own interest to investigate the reason ASAP.

Hydronephrosis
Hydronephrosis is distention (dilation) of the kidney with urine, caused by backward pressure on the kidney when the flow of urine is obstructed.
Kidney stones are common causes of urinary tract obstruction.
When hydronephrosis occurs quickly, people may have excruciating pain, most often in the flank (the area between the ribs and the hips).
When hydronephrosis occurs more gradually, people may have no symptoms or experience attacks of dull, aching discomfort in the flank.
Doctors initially use bladder catheterization (or ultrasonography) to detect hydronephrosis, and they may use ultrasonography or another imaging test to determine the site of the blockage.
Treatment depends on the cause of the obstruction.
Hydronephrosis: A Distended Kidney
In hydronephrosis, the kidney is distended because the flow of urine is obstructed and urine backs up in the kidney's small tubes and central collecting area (renal pelvis).
Normally, urine flows out of the kidneys at extremely low pressure. If the flow of urine is obstructed, urine backs up behind the point of blockage, eventually reaching the small tubes of the kidney and its collecting area (renal pelvis), distending the kidney and increasing the pressure on its internal structures. The elevated pressure from obstruction may ultimately damage the kidney and can result in loss of its function. When the flow of urine is obstructed, urinary tract infections are fairly common and stones are more likely to form. If both kidneys are obstructed, kidney failure may result.
Long-standing distention of the renal pelvis and ureter can also inhibit the rhythmic muscular contractions that normally move urine down the ureter from the kidney to the bladder (peristalsis). Scar tissue may then replace the normal muscular tissue in the walls of the ureter, resulting in permanent damage.
Causes
Hydronephrosis commonly results from an obstruction located at the junction of the ureter and renal pelvis (ureteropelvic junction). Causes of this type of obstruction include the following:
Structural abnormalitiesfor example, a birth defect in which the insertion of the ureter into the renal pelvis is too high or there is inadequate development of the ureteral muscles (congenital ureteropelvic junction obstruction)
Kinking at the ureteropelvic junction resulting from a kidney shifting downward (ptosis of the kidney)
Stones (calculi) or a blood clot in the renal pelvis
Compression of the ureter by bands of fibrous tissue, an abnormally located artery or vein, or a tumor
Hydronephrosis can also result from an obstruction below the ureteropelvic junction or from backflow (reflux) of urine from the bladder. Causes of this type of obstruction include the following:
Stones in the ureter
Blood clot in the ureter
Tumors in or near the ureter
Narrowing of the ureter resulting from a birth defect, an injury, an infection, radiation therapy, or surgery
Disorders of the muscles or nerves in the ureter or bladder
Formation of fibrous tissue in or around the ureter resulting from surgery, radiation therapy, or drugs (especially methysergide)
Bulging of the lower end of the ureter into the bladder (ureterocele)
Cancers of the bladder, cervix, uterus, prostate, or other pelvic organs
Obstruction that prevents urine flow from the bladder to the urethra, resulting from prostate enlargement (most often caused by a condition called benign prostatic hyperplasiasee Prostate Disorders: Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)), or rectal impaction with feces
Abnormal contractions of the bladder resulting from a birth defect or a spinal cord or nerve injury
Hydronephrosis of both kidneys can occur during pregnancy as the enlarging uterus compresses the ureters. Hormonal changes during pregnancy may aggravate the problem by reducing the muscular contractions that normally move urine down the ureters. This condition, commonly called hydronephrosis of pregnancy, usually ends when the pregnancy ends, although the renal pelvis and ureters may remain somewhat distended afterward.
Symptoms
Symptoms depend on the cause, location, and duration of the obstruction. When the obstruction begins quickly (acute hydronephrosis), it usually produces renal colican excruciating, intermittent pain in the flank (the area between the ribs and hip) on the affected side. Obstruction on one side does not reduce urine flow. Obstruction can stop or reduce urine flow if blockage affects the ureters from both kidneys or if it affects the urethra. Obstruction of the urethra or bladder outlet may produce pain, pressure, and distention of the bladder.
People who have slowly progressive (chronic) hydronephrosis may have no symptoms, or they may have attacks of dull, aching discomfort in the flank on the affected side. Sometimes a kidney stone temporarily blocks the ureter and produces painful hydronephrosis that occurs intermittently.
Hydronephrosis may cause vague intestinal symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. These symptoms sometimes occur in children when hydronephrosis results from a birth defect in which the junction of the ureter and renal pelvis is too narrow (ureteropelvic junction obstruction).
People who have urinary tract infections may have pus in the urine, fever, and discomfort in the area of the bladder or kidneys.
Diagnosis
Early diagnosis is important, because most cases of obstruction can be corrected and because a delay in treatment can lead to irreversible kidney damage. Doctors may suspect hydronephrosis because of a person's symptoms and sometimes because of findings discovered during a physical examination. A distended kidney can occasionally be felt in the flank, particularly if the kidney is greatly enlarged in an infant or a child or a thin adult. A distended bladder can sometimes be felt in the lower part of the abdomen just above the pubic bone.
Doctors depend on testing to make the diagnosis. Bladder catheterization (insertion of a hollow, flexible tube through the urethra) is often the first diagnostic test done in people with renal colic, pelvic pressure, or distention. If the catheter drains a large amount of urine from the bladder, then either the bladder outlet or the urethra is obstructed. Many doctors do ultrasonography to determine whether the bladder is filled with a large amount of urine before doing bladder catheterization.
If the presence or site of obstruction is in doubt, various imaging tests can be done to identify evidence of obstruction such as hydronephrosis or a site of blockage. For example, ultrasonography is a very useful test in most people (particularly children and pregnant women) because it is fairly accurate and does not expose the person to any radiation. Computed tomography (CT) scanning is an alternative. It is rapid and highly accurate, particularly at identifying stones. Other imaging tests, such as intravenous urography, may be performed to identify the site of obstruction, if it is not visible with ultrasonography or CT.
An endoscope (a rigid or flexible telescope) is sometimes used to look at possible sites of obstruction as closely as possible. An endoscope can be used to examine the urinary tract.
Blood and urine tests are done. Blood test results are usually normal, but tests may reveal high levels of urea nitrogen (sometimes called BUN), creatinine, or both, if obstruction affects both kidneys. Results from an analysis of urine (urinalysis) are usually normal but white blood cells and red blood cells may be present when a stone or a cancer is the cause of obstruction, or when the obstruction is complicated by an infection.
Prognosis
Permanent kidney damage is unlikely to result unless both kidneys are obstructed for at least a few weeks. The prognosis is less certain for chronic hydronephrosis.
Treatment
Treatment usually aims to relieve the cause of obstruction. For example, if the urethra is obstructed because of an enlarged or cancerous prostate, treatment can include drugs, such as hormone therapy for prostate cancer (see Prostate Disorders: Prostate Cancer), surgery, or enlargement of the urethra with dilators. Other treatments, such as lithotripsy or endoscopic surgery, may be needed for stones that block the flow of urine. If the cause of obstruction cannot be rapidly corrected, particularly if there is infection, kidney failure, or severe pain, the urinary tract is drained. In acute hydronephrosis, urine that has accumulated above the obstruction can be drained with a soft tube inserted through the skin into the kidney (nephrostomy tube) or by insertion of a soft plastic tube that connects the bladder with the kidney (ureteral stent). Complications of nephrostomy tubes or ureteral stents can include displacement of the tube, infection, and discomfort.
Urgent relief of chronic hydronephrosis is usually not required. Complications of hydronephrosis, such as urinary tract infections and kidney failure, if present, are treated promptly.
Some Calculi are not visible on X'rays but they usually are identified on Ultrasound scans.
The therapy that can be prescribed will depend on the reason for the blockage and it is in your own interest to investigate the reason ASAP.

Thank you very much for the information. Sir, you are absolutely right, I will have to get it investigated first, however, I am not at all prepared for any surgery that the doctors might suggest. I would again require your help Sir.
In the meantime is there any homeopathic medicine that improves the overall function of kidneys.

Thank you once again. I am going to have another test done called KUB (X rays) as sometimes ultrasound scans cannot detect stones. I am told that KUB test will give me a clear picture about the reason for obstruction. The mild PUJ obstruction is apparent in ultrasound right near the kidney and ureter junction.
I am grateful to you.

You may like to know that a Rotary CT Scan will also identify your Calculi.
The only disadvantage in this scan is the exposure to X'rays which are greater than the standard chest X'ray.
However the exposure is not at dangerous levels.

Thank you for your reply. I got my KUB X rays result today. No stones were seen. Could there be any other reason for my left side pain. I have doubts about the hydronephrosis diagnosis too. May be it is because of sore muscle or come compressed/sensitive nerve in the region...just guesses though
What medicine do you suggest for the pain in the area. Should I take arnica for that.

If you have visited the link I gave you: http://www.abchomeopathy.com/forum2.php/219363/
you would have read that the remedy I used to dissolve a Kidney stone was Berberis Vulgaris 6c and when the stone was sufficiently reduced to come down the Ureter, I gave Colocynthis 200 in the Dry dose and this propelled the stone down to the bladder and it was then discharged with the urine accompanied by excruciating pain which was only temporary.
I note that you stated 'I have bought Berberis 200 (10ml dilution)(Berberis Vulgaris from schwabe germany).'
Please note that the 200c potency of Berberis Vulgaris is not suitable and you can use Pankaj's dosage of Berberis Vulgaris Q or Mother Tincture --- 10 drops in a small glass of water thrice daily. You cannot use it directly on the tongue.
It is possible that your lower back pain is of muscular origin.

My son (now 3 months old) has been diagnosed with hydronephrosis in his left kidney. The same was diagnosed from the ultrasounds of my wife during pregnancy. Ever since the child was born, Ultrasound scans have been taken every month , and in each scan the hydronephrosis has been found to fall under the category of grade III. We recently did a DTPA test, which revealed a PUJ obstruction. Doctors have advised a pyleoplasty as soon as he gains weight till 5kg. He is 4.8 kgs now.
Here, I would like to mention that, he had an inguinal hernia on the left side also. Whenever, he used o strain (cry), there was a bulge in the inguinal region. After going through the appropriate threads in this forum, I had administered nux vomica 30 for 5 days (about a month and a half back). To my pleasant surprise, now when he cries there is no bulge, and I assume that he doesnt need to go for herniotomy, as was initially advised by the doctors.
I was wondering if there is some homeopathic remedy for PUJ obstruction in left kidney also. I am so happy to have come across this forum. From this thread it appears that Berberis Vulgaris 6c has a lot of potential. The only issue is that how long should I continue the medicine. As such, the baby doesnt show any signs of pain. He urinates normally and is never cranky.
In adults, the medicine is continued for months altogether, till the pain subsides. But in my case, I dont even know whether he is in pain. The only way to find out is by ultrasonography. But I cannot do it everyday. What should be the dosage of medicine. How long should it continue. Please advise.
Kind regards

You can go ahead with Berbaris Q (and not 6C) 3drops in 1/4 cup water when ever your son cries in typical fashion that is given by kidney pain ,with lill observation you can detect 'that type' of crying keep him giving 2 tymes every day but start the medicin when he cries with this pain than give him 2 times every day and additionally when he cries (sos)till one month then again have a check up and confirm what is the situation(most probably the problem wouldhave gone forever)

Dear Sir,
Thank you so much for the quick response. As advised by you, I have bought berberis Q. However there are a few points which I would like to clarify before proceeding further.
1. Actually my son never appears to be in pain. In fact, we know about his hydronephrosis, only because it has shown up in the ultrasounds. I would also like to mention that he doesnt have any stones in the kidney. It is just PUJ obstruction.
2. Also, what should be the dosage. He is presently only on breastfeeding, so how much liquid (3 drops in ¼ water) should he take?
Please advise and oblige.
Kind regards

1. Actually my son never appears to be in pain. In fact, we know about his hydronephrosis, only because it has shown up in the ultrasounds. I would also like to mention that he doesnt have any stones in the kidney. It is just PUJ obstruction.
2. Also, what should be the dosage. He is presently only on breastfeeding, so how much liquid (3 drops in ¼ water) should he take?
Please advise and oblige.
Kind regards
Prasun

Hi prasunroy2000,
Did you find any improvement in your son condition after homeopathic treatment. My 3 year old son is suffering from the same right ureter obstruction problem.

Dear sir
My 2.5yr male child is suffering from mild hydronephrosis with minimal left kidney inflammation.
I have done ultrasound and ct scan of my son but there is no symptom of presence of stone. The flow of urine is normal
My son has pain in abdomen when he wake up in the morning and sometime in day
Please prescribe the medicine
Thanking you
