What is a floating kidney?

Floating kidney, which can also be called hypermobile kidney or renal wandering, is known as the medical name nephroptosis . It is a condition that causes the kidney to drop down, especially when a person gets up or goes from lying to an upright position. This can also be called prolapse or kidney prolapse. The kidney movement of the down suggests that the tissues that surround it are not fully determined, and the doctor is recorded by a condition that has been recorded for more than a century. Rarely, the condition may be caused by a congenital defect. Injuries to the kidneys or wound to the area just above or below the kidney can also occasionally cause floating kidneys. Mobility of kidneys is more common without any injury.

The

kidneys are a fell -supported tissue called periral fasciae, which is a soft tissue that is part of the connective tissue. When periral fasciae are not present in abundance, the floating kidney is not fixedIn place and standing it can drop as low as the pelvis. This may or may not cause symptoms. When symptoms occur, they may be clearly uncomfortable and involve pain in the side, chills, nausea and increased blood pressure. Moving the kidneys can also cause ureter, a structure that transmits urine from the kidney to the bladder to break. This may result in extreme pain or urination problems.

The diagnosis of

tends to be made by taking a series of X -rays in the earr (lying down) and then in an upright or stagnant position. You can certainly say whether the kidney really moves down when one stands or whether any other condition can cause symptoms. Many people do not know that they have floating kidneys and usual only the formation of symptoms evokes a state. If the condition is without symptoms and diagnoses, it usually does not require any treatment.

For those suffering from signs of floating kidneys, it usually exists in the form of kidney surgery called nephrofExes. In the past wasThis operation is significantly more invasive, but can now be performed using laparoscopic techniques, resulting in a much faster recovery time. Surgery basically repairs the kidneys in place, reduces its mobility and ends painful symptoms.

Most people with a floating kidney have little, if any complications at all, and when the surgery requires surgery, the surgery itself has an excellent result. The floating kidney is not considered a fatal condition because the treatment is easily accessible. It can be very unpleasant, but many who have a condition may not feel discomfort. In many cases, people have lived their entire lives with nephroptosis without being aware that they have it.
