What does it mean if you have water on the kidney?
"Water on the kidney" is the literal translation of the medical term hydronephrosis. That's a misnomer, however, because the condition has nothing to do with water. In hydronephrosis, there is often an obstruction in the ureter, bladder, or urethra that prevents urine from emptying out of the kidney. Pressure backs-up as a result, causing the kidney to swell with urine. A common cause is a large kidney stone that prevents proper drainage of the kidney.
When to Visit a Kidney Doctor?
The kidneys are a sensitive part of the body and when they become infected or compromised, people often suffer pain and retention of fluid in their bodies.

A kidney doctor can prescribe antibiotics and pain relievers while the person passes the deposits, or stones, from the bladder.

Function of the collecting duct of the kidneys?
The collecting duct system is the final component of the kidney to influence the body's electrolyte and fluid balance. In humans, the system accounts for 4-5 percent of the kidney's reabsorption of sodium and 5% of the kidney's reabsorption of water. At times of extreme dehydration, over 24% of the filtered water may be reabsorbed in the collecting duct system. Basically, it collects the urine that a nephron (a unit of kidney that filters) filters.
