The global hydronephrosis treatment market was valued at USD 2 billion in 2023 and grew at a CAGR of 8% from 2024 to 2033. The market is expected to reach USD 4.31 billion by 2033. The increasing incidence of hydronephrosis will drive the growth of the global hydronephrosis treatment market.

Market Introduction:

Hydronephrosis is a medical condition characterized by the swelling or enlargement of one or both kidneys due to the accumulation of urine. This occurs when urine flow is obstructed, often by factors such as kidney stones, tumours, urinary tract infections, congenital abnormalities, or scar tissue. Treatment for hydronephrosis depends on the underlying cause and severity of the condition. Pain management is often the first step. Addressing the root cause is crucial. For instance, kidney stones may be broken down with shock wave lithotripsy or surgically removed. In some cases, a ureteral stent may be inserted to facilitate urine flow, or surgical intervention may be necessary to remove blockages or correct structural abnormalities. Treating hydronephrosis is vital for preventing further kidney damage and preserving kidney function. Left untreated, it can lead to complications such as kidney infection, damage, or failure. By addressing the underlying cause and restoring normal urine flow, treatment aims to alleviate symptoms, preserve kidney function, and improve quality of life.

Recent Development
  • The first machine learning model for accurately predicting the risk of dilating VUR based on early postnatal ultrasound features was created by urologist Hsin-Hsiao (Scott) Wang, MD, director of Boston Children's Computational Healthcare Analytics Programme, and his colleagues. Wang and associates have previously created machine learning models to identify children who may benefit from additional testing if they have recurrent UTIs, which are a sign of VUR. They aimed to create a model that could accurately predict dilating VUR based on postnatal ultrasound to identify which infants would benefit from VCUG in a recent study published in the Journal of Paediatric Urology.

Market Dynamics:

Drivers

The increasing incidence of hydronephrosis – Obesity is known to be a well-established risk factor for the development of hydronephrosis or conditions leading to the same, and its prevalence has been steadily increasing over the past few decades. Obesity contributes to the formation of kidney stones as it is associated with metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance, all of which can lead to alterations in urinary composition and increase the risk of stone formation. Furthermore, obesity is associated with hormonal imbalances, which may also lead to prostate enlargement and hydronephrosis. The relationship between obesity and hydronephrosis-related conditions underscores the increasing incidence of hydronephrosis. Therefore, the rising rates of obesity globally contribute to the increasing burden of hydronephrosis-related conditions, highlighting the growing need for hydronephrosis treatment.

Restraints:

The high cost of hydronephrosis treatment Diagnostic tests, such as ultrasound, C.T. scans, or MRI scans, incur substantial costs, which can deter patients from seeking necessary medical care, especially in regions with limited access to subsidized healthcare services or holistic insurance coverage. Treatment expenses, including medications, surgical procedures, and follow-up care, add to the financial burden. Prescription medications required to manage symptoms or treat underlying conditions associated with hydronephrosis contribute to the overall cost. Additionally, indirect costs such as transportation expenses and lost wages due to time off work for medical appointments exacerbate the financial strain. Therefore, the high costs associated with hydronephrosis treatment will limit the market’s growth.

Opportunities:

Improved diagnostic techniques – Advances in medical imaging technology, such as ultrasound, C.T., and MRI, have significantly improved the ability to detect and diagnose hydronephrosis. Early detection or diagnosis enables prompt intervention and treatment, preventing complications such as kidney damage or infection. Furthermore, increased awareness of kidney health and the availability of screening programs have also contributed to the early diagnosis and follow-up of affordable and effective treatment. The combination of improved diagnostic techniques and increased awareness and screening programs has led to more cases of hydronephrosis being identified earlier. This has resulted in a greater demand for timely intervention and treatment. Continued advancements in diagnostic capabilities, awareness raising, and expanded access to screening programs will contribute to the market’s growth during the forecast period.

Regional segmentation analysis:

The regions analyzed for the market include North America, Europe, South America, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa. North America emerged as the most significant global hydronephrosis treatment market, with a 42% market revenue share in 2023.

The region has advanced healthcare infrastructure with state-of-the-art medical facilities and access to cutting-edge technology, enabling healthcare providers to offer various diagnostic and treatment options for hydronephrosis. Additionally, North America is home to numerous pharmaceutical companies, medical device manufacturers, and research institutions focused on advancing medical science and developing innovative treatments for urological conditions.

Type Segment Analysis

The type segment is divided into unilateral and bilateral. The unilateral segment dominated the market, with a market share of around 57% in 2023. Unilateral hydronephrosis is the swelling of one kidney due to urine accumulation caused by an obstruction in the urinary tract. This condition is more prevalent than bilateral hydronephrosis, where both kidneys are affected by various factors. Treating unilateral hydronephrosis typically involves addressing the underlying cause of the obstruction, relieving symptoms, and preserving kidney function.

Diagnosis Segment Analysis

The diagnosis segment is divided into laboratory tests and imaging. The imaging segment dominated the market, with a market share of around 64% in 2023. Imaging techniques are crucial for diagnosing hydronephrosis because they provide detailed visualization of the kidneys and urinary tract. Ultrasound, CT scans, MRI, and intravenous pyelogram (IVP) are commonly used imaging techniques for assessing hydronephrosis. Ultrasound is often the initial imaging modality of choice due to its accessibility, non-invasiveness, and lack of ionizing radiation. Imaging techniques are preferred for diagnosing hydronephrosis as they offer comprehensive assessment, accurate localization of obstructions, kidney function evaluation, and underlying causes identification. They are non-invasive, relatively quick, and well-tolerated by patients.

treatment Segment Analysis

The treatment segment is divided into shock wave lithotripsy, laparoscopy, bladder catheterization and steroid therapy. The shock wave lithotripsy segment dominated the market, with a market share of around 40% in 2023. Shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) is a non-invasive procedure to break down kidney stones into smaller pieces. This method delivers shock waves externally to target and fragment kidney stones, typically guided by imaging techniques like fluoroscopy or ultrasound. SWL is preferred for treating hydronephrosis caused by kidney stones due to its effectiveness, safety, and minimally invasive nature. It boasts a high success rate. Moreover, it is associated with minimal discomfort, shorter recovery times, and reduced risk of complications compared to surgical interventions. Shock wave lithotripsy stands out as a preferred treatment for hydronephrosis caused by kidney stones due to its high success rates, minimal invasiveness, and potential for repeat treatments without significant risk or adverse effects.

Indication segment Analysis

The indication segment is divided into intrinsic and extrinsic. The intrinsic segment dominated the market, with a market share of around 60% in 2023. intrinsic indication refers to factors or conditions that directly affect the kidney or urinary tract, leading to the obstruction or impairment of urine flow. These intrinsic indications may include kidney stones, tumours, congenital abnormalities, or scarring within the urinary tract. Intrinsic indications of hydronephrosis are often more identifiable and easier to recognize than extrinsic indications, which involve external factors compressing or obstructing the urinary tract. This is because intrinsic indications directly affect the structure or function of the kidney or urinary tract, resulting in more pronounced symptoms or abnormalities readily detected through diagnostic tests.
