What happens during the disease - other and unspecified hydronephrosis
Other and unspecified hydronephrosis is a condition in which the kidneys become swollen due to an obstruction of the flow of urine. this obstruction can be caused by a variety of factors, such as a blockage in the urinary tract, an enlarged prostate, or a tumor. the obstruction causes the urine to back up, leading to an increase in pressure within the kidney. this increased pressure can damage the kidney tissue, leading to inflammation and scarring. in severe cases, the obstruction can cause renal failure.
