Hi, My mother inlaw undergone a medical check up last month. A laboratory test was done and examined. It was perfect and passed all. Except the KUB ultasound result. It was found out that she has a BILATERAL RENAL PARENCHYMAL DISEASE. MODERATE HYDRONEPHROSIS, LEFT, SECONDASRY TO STONE IN THE MID URETER WITH MEASURES OF 2.0 cm. MINIMAL RESIDUAL URINE. She was scheduled for operation this coming wednesday. My question is. Is there any medication or option we can take if we decided not to do the operation procedure? How risk is the result? Thank you so much. Your advice or opinion is highly appreciated.

Hello
Thanks for query .
Your mother in-law has been detected to have hydronephrosis of the left kidney due to a large stone of a size of 2 cm impacted in her left mid ureter .

The hydronephrosis of the kidney suggests back pressure changes in the kidney due to obstruction to flow of urine from the kidney into bladder .If left untreated the kidney function may get delayed and finally a stage would come that it will stop functioning completely .

Please do not hesitate to operate her .This will help her to save her kidney and regain function .
