Urologist,  's  Response
hi,
Sorry about your predicament. I guess by kinked ureter to your right kidney you mean retrocaval ureter which means ureter goes behind the large blood vessel and it is compressed by it. You need to consult your urologist as you are still getting pain 10 months after surgery. There is a possibility that your ureter is still obstructed. You will need certain radiological investigation which your urologist will advise you.
Your increase in BP is most likely not related to your surgery. It is incidental and you will need physicians opinion for that. Your previous surgery will not cause hypertension unless your right kidney has become non-functioning.
