Hydronephrosis often causes kidney infection (pyelonephritis) and urinary tract infection. The symptoms of kidney infection include all those listed for hydronephrosis, as well as pus in your urine and pain in the area around your bladder.

If hydronephrosis is not diagnosed or treated promptly it can damage a kidney severely or cause kidney failure. If this happens and your second kidney is functioning properly, the damaged kidney will usually be removed.
