Suggest Treatment For Child Passing Dark Yellow/cloudy Urine While Having Hydronephrosis
My son was born with hydronephrosis. He is 4 now. He has not had any infections, yet, but he has dark yellow and cloudy urine, has a strong smell, has some pain on the right bakside, and sometimes he grunts to pee and he says it hurts. The doctors keep saying he'll grow out of it. Will he? Should I get 2nd opinion? what happens if he doesn't? Thanks-worried mom in louisiana.

Hi
Children with hydronephrosis are prone for urinary tract infection. Cloudy urine most likely may be due to infection which needs to be treated. Backside pain also may be due to hydronephrosis and renal infection. Persistant infection may lead to renal scarring and injury.
To treat hydronephrosis one need to know the site of obstruction. If it is posterior urethral valve it should be treated as soon as possible. Based on grading of hydronephrosis and its cause surgical treatment need is decided.
He should be put on antibiotic prophylaxis.
Get his urine culture analysis done.
He will also need renal function analysis and growth assessment to know if he has got complications.
If these queries are not solved take second opinion.
Best wishes
