The best treatment is to remove the cause of hydronephrosis and preserve the method of kidney transplantation, depending on the nature of the cause, such as congenital pyelo-ureteral junction stricture, pyeloplasty, nephroureteral stones, lithotripsy or lithotomy. These operations can be treated endoscopically in recent years. After operation, hydronephrosis and renal function will improve. Nephrostomy, if the situation is critical or the cause of hydronephrosis cannot be removed, drainage should be performed above the obstruction, infection control should be replaced, and then surgery to remove the cause should be performed. When the cause of obstruction cannot be removed, nephrostomy should be used as a permanent treatment measure. Nephrectomy, severe hydronephrosis, severe residual renal parenchyma or severe infection and pyonephrosis, if the contralateral kidney function is good, the diseased kidney can be removed.
