Hydronephrosis Hydronephrosis is a condition that typically occurs when the kidney swells due to the failure of normal drainage of urine from the kidney to the bladder. This swelling most commonly affects only one kidney, but it can involve both kidneys.

ICD-10-CM Code N13.3Other and unspecified hydronephrosis The ICD code N133 is used to code Hydronephrosis. Hydronephrosis — literally water inside the kidney — refers to distension and dilation of the renal pelvis and calyces, usually caused by obstruction of the free flow of urine from the kidney. Untreated, it leads to progressive atrophy of the kidney.

Causes Hydronephrosis is usually caused by a blockage in the urinary tract or something disrupting the normal workings of the urinary tract.The urinary tract is made up of the kidneys, the bladder, the ureters (the tubes that run from the kidney to the bladder) and the urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body). blockage or problem in the urinary tract can mean urine is unable to drain from the kidneys or is able to flow the wrong way up into the kidneys. This can lead to a build-up of urine in the kidneys, causing them to become stretched and swollen.

Background Hydronephrosis is defined as distention of the renal calyces and pelvis with urine as a result of obstruction of the outflow of urine distal to the renal pelvis. Analogously, hydroureter is defined as a dilation of the ureter.The presence of hydronephrosis or hydroureter can be physiologic or pathologic.he etiology and presentation of hydronephrosis and/or hydroureter in adults differ from that in neonates and children. Anatomic abnormalities (including urethral valves or stricture, and stenosis at the ureterovesical or ureteropelvic junction) account for the majority of cases in children.

hydronephrosis Hydronephrosis is the swelling of the kidneys when urine flow is obstructed in any of part of the urinary tract. Swelling of the ureter, which always accompanies hydronephrosis, is called hydroureter. Hydronephrosis implies that a ureter and the renal pelvis (the connection of the ureter to the kidney) are overfilled with urine.

Hydron (chemistry) In chemistry, a hydron is the general name for a cationic form of atomic hydrogen, represented with the symbol H+ . The term proton refers to the cation of protium, the most common isotope of hydrogen.nlike other ions, the hydron consists only of a bare atomic nucleus. The hydron (a completely free or naked hydrogen atomic nucleus) is too reactive to occur in many liquids, even though it is sometimes visualized to do so by students of chemistry.

nephron (něf'rŏn) The functional unit of the kidney, in which waste products are filtered from the blood and urine is produced. The nephron consists of a system of tubules in close association with a network of blood vessels. As fluid that is filtered through the glomerulus of the nephron enters the tubules, its composition is gradually changed by the absorption and secretion of solutes, and it eventually leaves the nephron as urine.

Swelling of the ureter, which always accompanies hydronephrosis, is called hydroureter. Hydronephrosis implies that a ureter and the renal pelvis (the connection of the ureter to the kidney) are overfilled with urine. The kidneys filter urine out of the blood as a waste product. It collects in the renal pelvis and flows down the ureters into the bladder.
