𝗛𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗽𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘀 is a condition, affecting about 1 in 100 babies, where urine overfills or backs up into the kidney, causing the kidney to swell.

Infants with hydronephrosis may be diagnosed before (prenatal) or after (postnatal) birth.

Left untreated, hydronephrosis can cause serious and irreversible serious damage which can have lifelong effects on a baby or child.
