If renal tuberculosis shows hydronephrosis, it will become more and more serious in the early stage, but once it occurs to the terminal stage, hydronephrosis may remain at a certain level and no longer change. This is mainly due to the spread of Mycobacterium tuberculosis down to the ureter inside the kidney, causing ureteral tuberculosis. Ureteral tuberculosis will cause ureteral sclerosis and obstruction. Urine in the renal pelvis cannot pass through the ureter to the bladder, so it will cause hydronephrosis. At the beginning of ureteral tuberculosis, the obstruction becomes more and more serious, resulting in more and more water. If ureteral tuberculosis completely causes obstruction of the ureter, the water will remain at a certain level and no longer worsen. This is because the late renal function has disappeared. No more urine filtration, at this time has formed a non-functional kidney, can only be nephrectomy surgery, kidney preservation is not necessary, and must go to urology or infection department for anti-tuberculosis drug treatment, in order to achieve the goal of early control of tuberculosis.
