Hydronephrosis happens when the kidneys get distended and damaged because urine is collecting in the kidney and not passing out. This happens when there is a blockage in the ureter through which the urine passes to the bladder.

SURGERY???
annette28 1 Post My 15 month old little boy just had a pyleopathy done receently and his kidney is still big. I was wondering if anybody had this problem. How do you know if your child is progressing well? I may sound a little paranoid, but I have not encountered many people with hydronephrosis and am a little too concerned!

You will need to take your son for regular check ups and they would do scans and functional studies with radioisotope studies. You should see a pediatric urologist.
