A member asked:

Does nephrostomy catch all urine or only urine that is backed up? are large tissue blood clots normal 3 days post op? can hydronephrosis still happen?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes that kidney: Well functioning nephrostomy will drain all the urine produced by that kidney , depending on the diagnosis ( what is causing the obstruction to ureter ) some bleeding possible . Hydronephrosis is due to obstruction , when it is cleared it will get corrected Speak to your doctor
