Serious problem: Hydronephrosis is a serious problem that should be treated by a specialist, the pain might be caused by the obstruction in your kidney and in the worst of the case scenario, there is a chance to lose function on one of the kidneys. If you take care of yourself along with your doctors' treatment you can have a normal life with only one kidney.
