Treatment For Primary Hydronephrosis And Gross Hematuria?
My urologist has scheduled me for Cystourethroscopy with ureteroscopy and/or Pyeloscopy. I was told today my left kidney is not functioning at all and it s holding fluid. Diagnoses Hydronephrosis Primary and Gross Hematuria. I m concerned about the possible complications from these procedures.

Hello
Thanks for query.
You havebeen detected to have non functioning left kidney with gross hydronephrosis .
Hydronephrosis with non functioning kidney strongly suggests chronic obstruction to flow of urine from kidney in to bladder .This could be either due to impacted stone in the ureter or due to presence of mass in the lumen of ureter .
This can be confirmed only by the tests (Procedures) your urologist has planned for .
These are minimal invasive procedures and have no complications
