Hello,
How do health care professionals treat hydronephrosis in newborns?
Treatment of hydronephrosis in newborns will depend on
how severe the condition is
whether one or both kidneys are affected
what is causing the hydronephrosis
Treatments may include watchful waiting, preventing and treating urinary tract infections, and surgery.
Watchful waiting
If hydronephrosis in a newborn is not severe and not likely to damage the kidneys, health care professionals may recommend watchful waiting. Health care professionals will perform tests from time to time to see if hydronephrosis changes or causes kidney damage as the infant gets older.
Hydronephrosis may improve or go away over time. However, if hydronephrosis gets worse or causes complications, a health care professional may recommend surgery.
