Have Hydronephrosis Developed At Kidney. Ureter Is Mildly Dilated. On Capecitabile. Suggest?
I have mild hydronephrosis which has developed at the right kidney. The upper right ureter is mildly dilated measuring 9 mm in diameter. The ureter appears obstructed where it crosses the iliac vessels. Question: Is this a fairly easy procedure? What happens if the obstruction is malignant? I have been on Capecitabile (Xeloda) since February, 2011.

HI
Thank for choosing HCM, For which procedure you are asking, you have not mentioned here, moreover what kind of obstruction is there it is not mentioned here, first task in this case is to relive the hydronephrosis, if the obstruction is it self in the ureter (lower) then by reliving this obstruction,, hydronephrosis can be reduced, every things is depends upon the nature of obstruction, Have good day

Welcome to the forum.
You have not given your medical /surgical history.
Based on the medicine you are taking, i understand that you are suffering from a cancerous condition.
If so, the obstruction can be due to spread of cancer cells to the abdomen and thereby compressing the ureters.
If confirmed, a stent may be placed to drain the ureters.
Hope this helps,
