Nephroureteral cyst

  Nephroureteral cyst is a cystic dilatation at the distal end of the ureter. The failure of absorption and regression of the membrane between the ureter and the urogenital sinus during embryonic development can lead to varying degrees of narrowing at the ureteral orifice. It can also be caused by factors such as weak fibrous structures at the distal end of the ureter or an excessively long and tortuous course in the interstitial segment, which can form a cystic dilatation protruding into the bladder after being impacted by urinary flow. In early cases, there may be no clinical symptoms, and it is often discovered during the diagnosis of renal malformation. Symptoms are mainly due to urinary tract obstruction, leading to recurrent urinary tract infections. Due to the small opening of the cyst, persistent obstruction at the ureteral orifice can cause hydronephrosis and renal atrophy, loss of renal function, difficulty in urination or interruption of urinary flow due to cystic obstruction of the bladder neck, and recurrent urinary tract infections. Sometimes, a girl's cyst can prolapse through the bladder neck and urethra to the outside of the urethral orifice, which can generally be复位自行复位. However, it can also become an incarcerated purple mass. The principle of treatment is to relieve obstruction, prevent reflux, and manage complications. If the upper half of the renal function on the affected side is poor, a heminephrectomy can be performed. About 20-25% of cases still have symptoms after surgery, and the cyst should be treated again at this time. If the renal function of the affected kidney is good, a ureteral cystectomy and anti-reflux ureteral bladder reimplantation can be performed.

1. What are the causes of ureteral cysts

  The main cause of ureteral cysts is mainly due to the obstruction of upper urinary tract caused by poor urine flow. After fertilization, the Chwalle membrane temporarily separates the ureteral bud and the urogenital sinus for 37 days. When the Chwalle membrane dissolves incompletely, it leads to this disease. In addition, abnormal development of the ureteral muscle in the bladder wall segment can also cause it.

  Urinary tract obstruction is one of the common causes of renal failure. As long as it is detected in time and the obstruction is removed as soon as possible, most cases of renal failure can improve. The urinary system is a pipeline system, and the lumen must be unobstructed to maintain the normal function of the urinary system. Obstruction can occur in many parts of the urinary system, such as inside the kidney, at the renal pelvis and ureteral junction, in the ureter itself, at the ureter bladder junction, bladder neck, or urethra. The closer the obstruction is to the kidney, the faster hydronephrosis occurs.

 

2. What complications can ureteral cysts easily lead to

  In early cases, there may be no symptoms in clinical practice, and they are often discovered when diagnosing renal malformations. The main symptoms are urinary tract obstruction, leading to recurrent urinary tract infections. Due to the small opening of the cyst, persistent obstruction of the ureteral orifice can lead to hydronephrosis of the ureter and kidney, renal function loss, bladder neck obstruction by the cyst, resulting in difficulty in urination or intermittent urine flow, and recurrent urinary tract infections. Sometimes, the girl's cyst can protrude outside the urethral orifice through the bladder neck and urethra, and it can generally be复位自行复位. But it can also be incarcerated into a purple mass.

3. What are the typical symptoms of ureteral cysts

  The most common clinical manifestations are:

  1, Upper urinary tract dilatation and hydrops.

  2, Urinary tract infection.Urinary tract infection (urinary tract infection, UTI), abbreviated as UTI, refers to the inflammation of the urinary tract caused by pathogenic invasion of the urinary tract mucosa or tissue. According to the site of infection, urinary tract infection can be divided into upper urinary tract infection and lower urinary tract infection. The former is pyelonephritis, and the latter is mainly cystitis. According to whether there is a basic disease, urinary tract infection can also be divided into complicated urinary tract infection and non-complicated urinary tract infection.

4. How to prevent the occurrence of ureteral cysts

  Caused by congenital developmental abnormalities, there are no specific preventive measures. Preventive measures can be taken during pregnancy:

  1. Regular prenatal examinations, early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment.

  2. Strengthen health education during pregnancy, pay attention to nutrition, reduce diseases, avoid contact with harmful toxins, and prohibit smoking and drinking. Medication during pregnancy should be taken under the guidance of a doctor. Pay attention to the triggering factors of FGR and actively prevent and treat complications and complications of pregnancy.

 

5. Which laboratory tests are needed for ureteral cysts

  1. Imaging examinations can make an accurate diagnosis.

  

  3. Intravenous urography typically shows a

  4. Cystoscopy can show a cystic dilation at the opening of the ureter, which is needle-like and expands and contracts with the peristalsis of the ureter.

 

6. Dietary taboos for ureteral cyst patients

  1. The daily water intake should be 2000-3000 milliliters, and it should be increased to 4000-5000 milliliters in hot summer, and more after sweating, at least keeping a daily urine output of more than 2000 milliliters.

  2. Magnetic water can be used for drinking, which is easy to dissolve stones.

  3. Eat more foods containing vitamin A, such as pork liver, eggs, as well as fresh cabbage and fruits.

  4. Eat less food rich in calcium, such as kelp, black fungus, beans, amaranth, milk, celery, nori, eel, pickled radish, pumpkin seeds, dried red dates, etc.

  5. Eat less food that can easily increase uric acid, cystine, and xanthine, such as animal internal organs, seafood, beans, peanuts, etc.

  6. Eat less food rich in oxalic acid, such as spinach, celery, cocoa, coffee, beetroot, strawberry, orange, sweet potato, black tea, etc.

7. Conventional Methods of Western Medicine for Treating Ureteral Cyst

  Treatment of Ureteral Cyst:If the upper half of the affected kidney function is poor, a partial nephrectomy can be performed. About 20-25% of cases still have symptoms after surgery, and the cyst is then treated. If the renal function is good, a ureteral cyst resection and antireflux ureterovesical reimplantation can be performed.

  The choice of treatment method is determined by the degree of lesion, the impact on the upper urinary tract, and whether there are other urinary tract anomalies. The goal of treatment is to relieve obstruction, eradicate infection, and protect renal function. Common surgical methods include transurethral resection and antireflux ureterovesical reimplantation.
