My 78 year old mother is having difficulty with hydronephrosis . CT scans are normal; she had a cystocope a month ago and a stent was placed in the Right ureter as the urologis reported a stricture; the most recent CT follow up scan is now showing hydronephrosis in the Left kidney which was not there a month ago. It is very perplexing; She had an inquinal hernia repair in June laproscoptical. she has mesh in her abdomen from reconstructive surgery for breast cancer 28 years ago. She has a diagnosis of morphea and I was wondering if that could contribute to the hydronephrosis that is occuring. Thank you
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Morphea is not known to cause this problem. Hy Chat Doctor.  It just says there is stasis of urine in that particular kidney or ureter. The cause needs to be found out whether it is stone/ stricture/ tumor etc. She needs to compete urological evaluation in the form of MVP, CT, Reno gram and aerodynamic study depending on the situation.
