Hydronephrosis is a condition where one or both kidneys become filled with urine due to an obstruction preventing normal urine flow. It is typically diagnosed through urological tests and confirmed by a qualified clinician. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent complications. Treatment is decided by a clinician after confirming the diagnosis and may include surgery to relieve the obstruction. No specific dosing information is provided in the sources. Seek urgent care if symptoms worsen.
