Why is the extent of hydronephrosis enlarged after laser lithotripsy?20

First of all, I would like to introduce you to a few conceptual questions:1Hydronephrosis:

The kidneys carry urine through the ureters to the bladder, and when the ureters are not open for various reasons (ureteral stones are one of them), urine is trapped in the kidneys, and hydronephrosis is formed. At the beginning, after a week, although different doctors have different methods on ultrasound, and the measurement results are not the same (just like asking different people, or the same person to measure how big a potato is, the results are always inconsistent), the difference is still very large, and it can be assumed that the water accumulation is worse. There are generally several reasons for the increase in water accumulation after what you call "laser" (presumably extracorporeal shock wave) lithotripsy:

Local ureteral edema compression, hydrops increase transiently, but it has been a week after your re-examination of B ultrasound, and the edema has basically returned to normal, which is unlikely to cause this reason; Another reason is that after your stone breaks, the local incarceration becomes more tight, resulting in a more poor urine flow, which makes the fluid worse. I analyze this cause is more likely, you find a better B ultrasound doctor, it should be easy to make a clear diagnosis, according to what you said, if the doctor who did B ultrasound for you can't even see the ureteral stones, you should change the doctor as soon as possible! Regardless of whether it is absolutely not, it will eventually lead to the loss of kidney function and serious consequences.

Finally, I wish you a speedy recovery.

Due to the blockage of the ureters due to the stones, it is now a severe hydropsis, which has an impact on kidney function. Of course, it has an impact on the body, the stone is in the ureter, and pressing the right side of the abdomen with your hand can press the pain point, and the pain point is the part of the ureter where the stone is located.

Hydronephrosis can't be left alone. See a doctor promptly.

Severe hydronephrosis can cause life-threatening kidney failure.

Hello, in general, extracorporeal lithotripsy has very little effect on the body. After setting the position, the general energy is concentrated at a point of the stone. For other tissues, the damage is relatively small. If the stone is large, surgery is recommended**. The lithotripsy family will not give you gravel either.

Renal calculi is caused by the abnormal accumulation of some crystalline substances (such as calcium, oxalic acid, uric acid, cystine, etc.) and organic matrix (such as matrix A, acidic mucopolysaccharides, etc.) in the kidneys. 40 to 75 percent of patients with kidney stones have varying degrees of low back pain. The stones are large and have little movement, and they are manifested as soreness and discomfort in the lower back, or a dull or dull ache with increased physical activity.

Colic pain caused by small stones often occurs suddenly, and the pain in the lower back and abdomen is like a knife, and it is paroxysmal. Stones can occur anywhere in the urinary system, but they often originate in the kidneys, and when kidney stones form, they are usually located in the renal pelvis or calyces and can be discharged into the ureters and bladder, and ureteral stones are almost always from the kidneys.
