It is a secondary disease that results from primary disease that may affect the kidney. Symptoms of hydronephrosis includes fever, pain when urinating, nausea or vomiting, and pain in the abdomen. It may be unilateral or bilateral. Unilateral hydronephrosis is swelling of one kidney, whereas, bilateral hydronephrosis is swelling of both the kidneys. Hydronephrosis is mostly diagnosed through ultrasound examination.
