My friend had severe pain. At emergency, with MRI & Cat Scan..they found a sack formed above his kidney..which we is infected.. A bag was put on..to drain it.  Hes had this for 4 weeks now.. (not in hospital)..the drainage is getting less.... At first he was on antibotics..is not now.   What is the prognosis of his future..will he have to wear this bag a long time.. the drs. had said perhaps 4-6 mths........ What comes next??
Hi, I don't understand the term bag above kidney. I guess probably his kidneys are dilated because of some obstruction. And the kidney has become bag like, and it was infected. I suppose that's why they have kept a tube Chat Doctor.  Further course will be to assess kidney function by doing a scan called DTPA genogram and further treatment according to scan report. Regards
