What Could Be The Reason For Hydronephrosis?

An year back I was detected with a calculi in my right kidney. They installed a stint and did lythotripsy to remove it. In the final sonography report they said that the calculi was completely removed but I had a mild hydronephrosis which will go away in around 6 months. Now, after an year I had another sonography and found that there was a moderate hydronephrosis still there. They suggested I get my blood creatinine test done. This test suggested normal level of blood creatinine. Please suggest what should I do now? What could be the reason for Hydronephrosis?

Hi
It is possible that you might have formed new stones in your kidney and one of them had dropped down to the tubes causing blockage to the kidney.

In the first instance you will need CT scan of the kidneys to find the cause.
