Hydronephrosis
Hydronephrosis is a medical condition characterised by the swelling of one or both kidneys due to a build-up of urine. This obstruction can be caused by kidney stones, congenital abnormalities, or a tumour. Hydronephrosis requires timely diagnosis and treatment to prevent kidney damage and ensure normal urinary function.
