summary

Double renal pelvis and ureter is a kind of congenital malformation. Generally, the development of renal pelvis and ureter is affected by virus infection or biochemical factors during the embryonic period. The two branches at the end of ureteral bud form double renal pelvis. The common complications of this disease are ureteral calculi and ureteropelvic infection, leading to hydronephrosis and other manifestations, serious will lead to renal dysfunction, uremia and other situations.

What is a double catheter?

For the treatment of double hydronephrosis and double ureteral dilatation, ureteral stent or double J tube can be used for the drainage of hydronephrosis. Of course, intravenous pyelography should be performed before the drainage to see if there are ureteral stones. In general, the drainage of this kind of ureteral stent needs to be performed under the operation of cystoscope or ureteroscope.

If the obstruction of renal pelvis and ureter is serious, resulting in serious hydronephrosis, it is necessary to perform renography to check the renal function and to see the good renal function. If the renal function of the normal side is completely normal, double pyeloureterectomy can be performed. The remaining kidney can metabolize the waste in the body's blood and excrete it out of the body. If there are serious complications such as renal failure, of course, hemodialysis or kidney transplantation is needed.

If the double renal pelvis and ureter appear repeated infection, you need to drink more water at ordinary times, to ensure that the amount of drinking water is about 2000ml, which can flush the urethra, reduce the possibility of ureteral calculi or ureteral infection. It has a great effect on the prevention of the disease. Of course, the appropriate use of oral levofloxacin for the treatment of urinary tract infection is good.
