<bot>: helloThanks for query. Based on the facts that you have posted You had congenital PUB obstruction on Rt side with was operated 6 years back for Pyeloplasty was done and second time 2 years back for revision of failed pyeloplasty. Now the kidney function estimated by DTPA scan is 37 %. Normally we preserve the kidney if it shows function above 20 %. It As regards your query about the expectancy of this kidney to survive in terms of years, I would state that it is very difficult to predict the time frame in years regarding the survival of this kidney . It can survive whole life if you take proper care of not getting UTI and monitoring function of the kidney by doing DMS scan at frequent intervals once in a year. Chat Doctor.
