Is hospitalization necessary for kidney hydronephrosis?
Whether hospitalization is needed for renal hydronephrosis depends on the specific condition of the patient. If the condition is mild, hospitalization is generally not required; if the condition is severe, hospitalization is necessary.
No need for hospitalization:
Renal hydronephrosis refers to a series of symptoms caused by the obstruction of urine excretion from the kidneys, leading to increased intrarenal pressure. If the patient's renal hydronephrosis is mild and there are no obvious discomfort symptoms such as low back pain, nausea, vomiting, etc., hospitalization is generally not required. The patient can take diuretics under the guidance of a doctor for treatment, such as hydrochlorothiazide tablets, furosemide tablets, which can promote urine excretion and relieve the symptoms of renal hydronephrosis.
Need for hospitalization:
If the patient's renal hydronephrosis is severe, with obvious discomfort symptoms and accompanied by infection, hospitalization in the hospital is required in a timely manner. The patient can use antibiotics under the guidance of a doctor for anti-infective treatment, such as cefixime capsules, amoxicillin capsules, etc. At the same time, drugs such as sodium bicarbonate injection, potassium citrate granules can be prescribed to alkalize urine and promote urine excretion. In daily life, patients should pay attention to resting more and avoid overexertion. Properly eating foods rich in protein, such as eggs, milk, etc., can help supplement the nutrients needed by the body.
