Can Hip Replacements Be Cause Of Fluid In Kidneys?

My husband just went for a sonogram because his creatinine is 1.9. They said he has fluid by his kidney and asked if he had any implants. He had two hip replacements over ten years ago. I am checking all of his medication and supplements to see if they can be the cause. The sonogram data will be forwarded to his doctor

Hello madam, this information is not much adequate. Fluid in kidney - it may be cysts in the kidney orhydronephrosis. Cysts in the kidney - by increasing age our kidney tissue became liquefied and form a fluid filed bag like thing within the kidney. Depends upon the size, number, characters the management will differ, for that we have to evaluate by ct scan or mri . Hydronephrosis is fluid accumulation due to any urine out flow obstruction near by kidney. Before going to mri any implant history has to be known. Because post implant patients should not undergo mri. So only they would have asked for implant history. You just follow up. Check with your physician, they may put him for further investigations.
