4Possible Complications of Nephroptosis
In some people, symptomatic nephoroptosis would lead to Dietl crisis. This medical condition causes the floating kidney to block the ureter, a narrow tube that connects the bladder and the kidney. As a result, it would lead to nausea, flank pain, faster heart rate, chills, excessive protein in the urine, bloody urine, lower urine output, as well as a tender and enlarged kidney. In most cases, you can lie down and raise your knees to the chest level to resolve Dietl crisis.
Another possible complication of nephoroptosis would be frequent urinary tract infections. This condition is usually caused by bacteria and may affect the kidneys, bladder, or urethra. Common signs of an infection in the urethra or bladder include cloudy or bloody urine, increased frequency of urination, and burning sensations when urinating. When the kidneys are affected, this condition may be dangerous. Possible symptoms include vomiting, nausea, fever, chills, as well as tenderness and pain in the sides and upper back. [4]
