Hydronephrosis and hydroureter are complications that can occur due to a ureter stone causing obstruction:
Hydronephrosis: The kidney becomes swollen and fluid-filled due to the obstruction, leading to potential kidney damage.
Hydroureter: The ureter becomes dilated and fluid-filled, leading to potential ureteral damage.
Both conditions can lead to severe consequences, such as:
Kidney failure
Recurrent infections
Chronic pain
Potential need for surgical intervention
