Hematonephrosis [Haematonephrosis; Hemato- + (Hydro)Nephrosis; Syn. Hematohydronephro]

Hematonephrosis: accumulation of blood in the renal pelvis and calyces due to hydronephrosis

Hematonephrosis, also known as hematohydronephro, is a condition in which blood accumulates in the renal pelvis and calyces as a result of hydronephrosis. Hydronephrosis is a pathological condition characterized by a violation of the outflow of urine from the kidneys, which leads to their expansion and pressure on surrounding tissues.

Hematonephrosis is a rare complication of hydronephrosis and usually occurs due to vascular damage or bleeding in the renal system. This condition can be caused by a variety of causes, including injury, kidney stones, tumors, congenital abnormalities of the urinary system, or infections.

Symptoms of hematonephrosis can vary depending on the degree of blood accumulation and the presence of other complications. In some cases, patients may not experience any symptoms, especially if the blood collection is small. However, with a significant accumulation of blood, the following manifestations are possible:

1. Low back pain: Pain may be sharp, dull or stabbing and worsens with activity or movement.
2. Blood in the urine: Hematuria is one of the main signs of hematonephrosis. The urine may turn reddish or brown.
3. Swelling: due to impaired urine flow, swelling of the tissues around the kidneys and ureters occurs.
4. Increased blood pressure: Some patients may experience increased blood pressure due to complications of hematonephrosis.

Various tests are performed to diagnose hematonephrosis, including renal ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and urine testing for blood. These methods make it possible to determine the degree of blood accumulation and identify possible causes of hematonephrosis.

Treatment of hematonephrosis depends on its causes and severity of the condition. In some cases, conservative treatment may be required to eliminate the causes of hydronephrosis and prevent re-accumulation of blood. In more serious cases, surgery may be required to remove stones, tumors, or restore normal urine flow.

The prognosis of hematonephrosis depends on its timely diagnosis and treatment. Hematonephrosis (Haematonephrosis; Hemato- + (Hydro) Nephrosis; Syn. Hematohydronephro)
