Is my kidney swelling due to blocked ureteral tube?

Need to unblock: Not sure of the question. A blocked ureter should be unblocked. Depends on the disease causing the problem. Can be something outside the ureter-extrinsic like a bowel disease or scarring, or inside the ureter-intrinsic like a stone or blood clot, etc. Until a definitive treatment is done a tube can be placed in the kidney or the ureter.

Here are some…: Kidney swelling - hydronephrosis - is most commonly caused by ureteral obstruction by stone. For individual details? Ask urologist timely.
