Hydronephrosis is the condition in which there is obstruction of the outflow of urine causing distension and damage to the kidney. Hematuria is the presence of blood in urine, hypercalciuria is the excess excretion of calcium in urine, and nephrolithiasis is the formation of kidney stones. While these conditions may potentially lead to hydronephrosis, they are not the direct cause.
