Right Kidney identified with a) abrupt narrowing of PU Junction, partial obstruction,b) mild hydronephrosys, c).reduction in renal parenchymal thickness. No symptoms. Kidney function tests are normal. Came up during sonography done during annual checkup. There are differing opinions of various doctors. I have been recommended surgery to remove obstruction. Another Doctor feels that this is a rare condition named congenital megacalyces. Even after surgery, there wont be any improvement in hydronephrosys/ kidney function.  The CT Scan and Renogram xrays are uploaded herewith
Hi, Although I am not able to access CT & Reno gram films, however what you have is a condition called PUB OBSTRUCTION, which is due to deficient muscles From the information available it is clear that the affected kidney is quite compromised in its function. Other kidney is free from disease, therefore overall function is preserved. I would advise you to have DTPA Scan done, which will be able to give split function of each kidney. In a condition like this surgical intervention has a success rate of 80-90% is invariably attempted/advised depending on various investigation parameters as & in many patients there is prevention of further loss of kidney function. The decision for surgery in your case should be undertaken based on the findings of these tests I have outlined.Meanwhile, take all the precautions to avoid nephrotoxic Chat Doctor.
