Hydronephrosis and polycythaemia

A S Narayana, F Gallagher, D G Kelly

    British Journal of Urology
    |June 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Two cases of secondary polycythaemia, a condition of elevated red blood cells, were linked to hydronephrosis. Surgical removal of the kidney (nephrectomy) successfully resolved the polycythaemia in both patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Hematology

    Background:

    • Secondary polycythaemia can arise from various underlying conditions.
    • Hydronephrosis, a kidney condition, has been an infrequently reported cause of polycythaemia.

    Observation:

    • Two patients presented with secondary polycythaemia.
    • Both patients had concurrent hydronephrosis as a potential etiological factor.

    Findings:

    • Polycythaemia resolved in both cases after surgical intervention.
    • Nephrectomy was the definitive treatment, leading to the normalization of red blood cell counts.

    Implications:

    • Hydronephrosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of secondary polycythaemia.
    • Renal management, including nephrectomy, can effectively treat polycythaemia secondary to hydronephrosis.
