Patient: sir hi have 6 months old boy. there was a mild hidronephrosis in left kidney that time when my wife was pregnant. now i consult to my pediatrician in jaipur. they advised me sonography. i got it done. there was again mild hidronephrosis. then i consult a urologist in jaipur. they said to me to go for DTPS scan. i again got it done. there was the problem in ureter that ureter is significantly diluted. then my doc advised me MCU. i got the MCU done. it was fine. now my doc is saying me to ureter implanment .kindly sugest me what should i do. Doctor: Hello,Hydronephrosis is a condition in which the kidney gets swollen due to accumulation of fluid in kidney due to obstruction or reverse flow of urine. Hydronephrosis can lead to loss of function and permanent damage to kidney. Significantly dilated ureter with hydronephrosis in your case is ideal indication for ureter reimplantation surgery which will prevent future damage to kidney.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Khan Shoeb Mohammad Sher Mohammad
