Your kidney may become so engorged with urine that it starts to press on nearby organs. If it's left untreated for too long, this pressure can cause your kidneys to lose function permanently. Mild symptoms of hydronephrosis include urinating more frequently and an increased urge to urinate.
What are the symptoms of severe hydronephrosis?
- Pain in the side and back that may travel to the lower abdomen or groin.
- Urinary problems, such as pain with urination or feeling an urgent or frequent need to urinate.
- Nausea and vomiting.
- Fever.
- Failure to thrive, in infants.
Can you still urinate with hydronephrosis?
Hydronephrosis may or may not cause symptoms. The main symptom is pain, either in the side and back (known as flank pain), abdomen or groin. Other symptoms can include pain during urination, other problems with urination (increased urge or frequency, incomplete urination, incontinence), nausea and fever.
