Urologist,  's  Response
Hi,

I am sorry to know about your friend's condition.
Swelling in the kidney (called as hydronephrosis) can be dangerous if untreated. It usually denotes some block in urine flow, in your friend's case, it could have been due to a stone blocking the kidney at the ureter (the tube connecting kidney and bladder). The symptoms of chills and fever, suggest a kidney infection.
She needs to consult an Urologist urgently. She needs to be started on intravenous antibiotics after taking urine culture test ad checking blood parameters. After a CT (computed tomogram) urography or plain CT, based on the size, location of stone and her general condition, stone removal procedure will be planned. Small stones can be removed through natural urinary passage.
Please get back to me with the CT report.
I hope have answered your query. Please feel free to ask any further clarification.
Wish your friend a speedy recovery,
Warm regards,
Dr. Raguram G MS, MRCS, MCh (Uro), F. Endouro
