Question 8

No, clarification: Renal pelvis is part of the kidney  structure - collecting system that allows the urine to passinto the ureter.  So renal pelvis cannot be  dislodged from the uterus. I suggest you clarify with your physician  about the report.

Question 9

how does pyelonephritis affect the renal pelvis?

Accepted Answer

Bad effects on it: Acute pyelonephritis is an infection of the renal pelvis (collecting system) and the kidney as a whole. There can be kidney abscesses (suppurative necrosis), containing pus material. Kidney tubules are damaged by the infectious process, and may have "casts" of white blood cells and exudate. In the early stages, kidney glomeruli are not affected, but can get damaged if the infection continues.

Question 10

what are complications of renal pelvis or ureter cancer?

Accepted Answer

Bleeding: Cancer in these areas usually causes microscopic or visible blood in the urine. It can also cause obstruction to the outflow of urine from the kidney and cause kidney swelling (hydronephrosis). This then can also cause kidney pain in the flank area when the kidney becomes obstructed, similar to the pain from a kidney stone. If left untreated, these tumors tend to grow and metastasize.
