Although patients usually presents with some obstructive process. Hydronephrosis is a very common signs and symptoms it can be clinically silent and is diagnosed as condition and it causes significant pain due to obstruction. an incidental finding during evaluation of an unrelated cause. Although calculus is the commonest cause of hydronephosis and Hydronephrosis can result from anatomic or functional hydroureter there are multiple noncalculus aetiology for the same process obstructing the flow of urine which can occur depending on the age and sex of the patient. This study is aimed anywhere from kidneys to the urethral meatus. Symptoms towards meticulous implementation of the accurate diagnostic tools depend on cause, location and duration of the obstruction. for early evaluation of noncalculus hydronephrosis and or Although patients usually presents with some signs and hydroureter and to assess the effectiveness of the early treatment symptoms it can be clinically silent and is diagnosed as towards the renal function sparing. Methods: In this prospective clinical study of 50 patients of hydronephrosis and or hydroureter an incidental finding during evaluation of an unrelated of all age groups and both the genders admitted in the department cause. Although calculus is the commonest cause of of surgery over a period of two years from Dec 2011 to Aug 2013 hydronephosis and hydroureter there are multiple were studied. All the patients were evaluated with detail clinical noncalculus aetiology for the same depending on the age history followed by thorough clinical examination and relevant and sex of the patient e.g. congenital PUJ block and P.U. investigations were done in each case. All the patients with calculus valves being common causes in children, while BEP and were excluded from the study. Results: Incidence of various condition leading to hydronephrosis was PUJ obstruction 38% BPH urethral strictures, carcinoma bladder are commonest 22% Vesicoureteric reflux 16% Neurogenic bladder 2% Stricture causes in males. It is also seen as a physiological response urethra 4% Retroperitoneal mass 6% B.O.O. 2% Gravid uterus 8% to pregnancy in females of child bearing age group while Ureteric stricture 2%. Conclusion: PUJ Obstruction is a most in elderly cancerous infiltration causing obstruction in common cause of noncalculus hydronephrosis. Noncalculus st carcinoma cervix and carcinoma ovary. Experimental hydronephrosis and or hydroureter was most common in 1 decade studies have shown, if an acute obstruction is corrected of life. Incidence noncalculus hydronephrosis and or hydroureter was more common in males than females. In our study unilateral within two weeks, full recovery of renal function is involvement is more common than bilateral. PUJ Obstruction is the possible however, after six weeks function loss is most common cause of unilateral noncalculus hydronephrosis while irreversible which is associated with obstructive BEP is the most common cause of bilateral noncalculus nephropathy and renal scarring. If unrecognized and or hydronephrosis and or hydroureter. Dismembered pyeloplasty is a left untreated hydronephrosis and hydroureter secondary procedure of choice in patients with PUJ Obstruction with good to obstruction, can lead to hypertension, sepsis, infection post-operative recovery in renal function. TURP is the gold standard for the surgical management of BPH. Early surgical and renal failure. Ultrasonography is the first imaging intervention was associated with improved outcome in all the approach in the evaluation of patients with noncalculus patients with noncalculus hydronephrosis and or hydroureter. urinary obstruction. Mild grade hydronephrosis can be Conservative management of hydronephrosis during pregnancy safely managed non operatively with meticulous follow was associated with good outcome. Ultrasound is the most up and surgery can only be considered when signs of important baseline investigation in evaluation of patients with deterioration occurs. Optimal management of patients hydronephrosis. Keywords: Clinical study; Noncalculus; Hydronephrosis; with hydronephrosis and or hydroureter requires Hydroureter integrated therapy involving both medical and surgical Introduction care. The choice of conservative or surgical management Hydronephrosis is defined as a dilatation of the renal of hydronephrosis is based on the results of excretory pelvis and calyces and hydroureter is defined as dilatation urography, fluoroscopy of pelvic and ureteral peristalsis, of ureter. 1 although it is a normal physiological response isotope renography and renal clearance studies but symptoms severity was considered greatly important.

Jaykar, Rahul Wagh Recurrent flank pain still seems to be the best indicator of In this study Ureteropelvic junction obstruction is the the need for surgery, however in noncomplicated benign most common cause of hydronephrosis accounting for hydronephrosis follow up should be directed mainly 38% cases of hydronephrosis .BPH is the second most towards detection of complications. This study is aimed common cause (22%) of hydronephrosis in present towards meticulous implementation of the accurate study.Ureteric stricture is the least common cause of diagnostic tools for early evaluation and to assess the hydronephrosis accounting for 2% of the cases. effectiveness of the early treatment towards the renal function sparing.
