Brief Answer:
Management of megaureter

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Megaureter means the ureter (which carries urine from the kidney to the bladder) is dilated. Management depends on the underlying cause (obstruction vs reflux) and severity of the condition.

Management options can vary from just watchful observation to surgery. As such the choice of medications largely depend on the severity of the disease. Long-term prophylactic antibiotics will be used if the disease is severe, to prevent kidney damage induced by recurrent infections (after urine micro-analysis and culture sensitivity examinations).

Please be advised to follow up with a urologist for detailed evaluation and management.

Hope this answers your question. Please let me know if you need further clarification.

Brief Answer:
Follow up answer

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Your blood work looks normal. The slight elevation in GGT is likely due to fatty liver. Avoid alcohol and diet rich in saturated fat. Loose weight if needed.

It is good news that the mega ureter has not affected your kidney function. Most likely, waiting watching would be the only thing probably needed now. However, detailed evaluation is needed. You can follow up with a urologist.

Hope I have answered your query.
