Is bladder tumor hydronephrosis serious?

Bladder tumor combined with hydronephrosis is a serious condition and may indicate urinary tract obstruction, tumor invasion or other complications. It is necessary to seek medical attention and receive professional diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible to avoid irreversible damage to kidney function.

The main reason for bladder tumor-induced hydronephrosis is that the tumor compresses or infiltrates the ureter, resulting in obstruction of urine reflux or excessive dilation of the renal pelvis. Hydronephrosis can have a variety of adverse effects on the kidneys and overall health, including increased risk of infection, decreased renal function, and even the development of uremia. In patients with bladder tumors, the severity of hydronephrosis is closely related to the size, location, and stage of the tumor. In the early stages, it may only manifest as mild ureteral stenosis, while mid- and late-stage invasive tumors may completely block the urinary tract, requiring detailed imaging examinations (such as B-ultrasound, CT, and MRI) to confirm the diagnosis. Specific treatment measures include relieving urinary tract obstruction and treatment of the tumor itself, such as cancer cell removal and prevention of spread.

There are many options for relief, which can be implemented according to the severity of the disease. Methods for treating hydronephrosis include ureteral stent implantation to restore the urinary flow channel; percutaneous nephrostomy to directly drain urine to reduce water accumulation; radical treatment may consider partial or total cystectomy, supplemented by chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Patients should pay attention to drinking water in moderation and avoid irritating foods; during the recovery period, they should eat a balanced diet, quit smoking and limit alcohol, and pay attention to regular check-ups as ordered by the doctor. Hydronephrosis cannot be ignored, and early intervention and professional treatment are the key to avoiding irreversible damage to kidney function.
