hydronephrosis
This is a specialized medical term used primarily in clinical settings, such as urology and nephrology. It describes a pathological state rather than a disease itself, often serving as a clinical sign of an underlying issue like kidney stones, tumors, or congenital malformations.
As a medical condition describing a specific physiological state of organ swelling, the term is treated as an uncountable noun. It does not have a plural form in standard medical discourse; instead, clinicians specify whether the condition is unilateral (affecting one kidney) or bilateral (affecting both kidneys) to indicate the extent of the involvement.
Meanings
The swelling of one or both kidneys due to a build-up of urine, typically caused by an obstruction in the ureter that prevents urine from draining into the bladder.
The patient was diagnosed with unilateral hydronephrosis after an ultrasound revealed a kidney stone blocking the ureter.
