A Giant Hydronephrosis in Adult / 대한신장학회잡지

ABSTRACT

The term of giant hydronephrosis in adults, is applied when the collecting system contains more than 1,000 mL of fluid. The commonest cause of asymptomatic giant hydronephrosis in early adult life is congenital ureteropelvic stenosis. Giant hydronephrosis in adults is uncommon and often clinically misdiagnosed, because clinical characteristics are vague and generalized symptom. We presented a giant hydronephrosis associated with ureter stricture on 31 years old male.
