Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hydronephrosis,indicated by an asymmetric flank with tenderness,is commonly caused by obstruction such as a renal calculus.As the kidney continues to make urine,the volume of urine backs up into the kidney,increasing pressure,and the kidney is enlarged as a result.An asymmetric tender flank would be one manifestation of this condition.Polyuria,dysuria,and hypertension are not complications associated with renal calculi.
