Abstract

Background: hydronephrosis is one of the most common complication of renal obstructive diseases, if left untreated, it may cause severe complications which may lead to acute and chronic renal failure. Objectives: to assess and classify hydronephrosis and determine the causes using ultrasound. Materials and methods: It is a prospective study, the study population composed of 53 female and 47 male who were suspected with renal diseases and referred to the ultrasound department for investigation. Data collection sheet was designed to include the demographic data such as age, gender, and clinical history. All the patients had been examined with ultrasound using the abdomen and renal ultrasound imaging protocol with 3.5 MHz probe. The renal system (kidneys, urinary bladder and prostate) had been scanned, longitudinal and transverse sections were performed through the kidneys and prostate. Hydronephrosis and the underline causes were measured and reported. Statistical analysis was performed using the standard Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) version 16 for windows. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze the data. Results: According to sonographic appearance, hydronephrosis had been classified into mild, moderate and severe hydronephrosis. Mild hydronephrosis is most common (53%), moderate (30%), severe hydronephrosis (13%) and extreme hydronephrosis was 4%. There were various causes of hydronephrosis, ureteric stone 31%, kidney stone 23%, pregnancy 12% and benign prostatic hypertrophy 11%. Most of the study population had history of renal stones (63%) Conclusion: Ultrasound is the first line of investigation of the renal system. It is sensitive and accurate to assess and classify the hydronephrosis and determine the main causes. Metabolic disorders (gout and diabetes) were the most risk factors of renal obstructive diseases.
