What does it mean to have extra fluid in one of the tubes leading from you kidney to your bladder?
I'm thinking you must be talking about a condition called hydroureter, meaning distention of the ureter with fluid. This is caused by an obstruction of the ureter (the duct between the kidney and the bladder). Several things can cause this obstruction. The most common is kidney stones. These accretions of salts form in the kidney. When the body tries to pass them, they must go through the ureter, which is very narrow, not made for passing solids. So they get stuck, and fluid (urine) builds up behind the obstruction, distending the ureter like a balloon. Once the stone passes and the obstruction is relieved, the ureter returns to normal size. Hydroureter can be dangerous in that excessive back pressure can damage the kidney, which can occur if the obstruction persists.
