Hydronephrosis occurs when your urine backs up in your kidney, because the urine cannot drain properly and then causes the kidney to swell up.
The urine can back up in the kidney due to blockage in your urinary tract from tumors, kidney stones and other issues.
The complications that can occur from hydronephrosis include kidney damage, kidney failure, urinary tract infections and sepis.
Sepsis can result from untreated kidney infections including hydronephrosis and can spread to your bloodstream and when you get sepsis it requires prompt medical attention or it will become life threatening and can lead to death.
The buildup of urine can also increase your risk of developing urinary tract infections.
In severe cases of hydronephrosis that are left untreated it can lead to kidney failure which will require a kidney transplant or dialysis to keep you alive.
