A dilated ureter, called a hydroureter, often occurs because an obstruction somewhere is causing the fluid to back up causing the ureter - the tube that runs from the kidney to the bladder to become larger - ie become dilated. According to several websites this condition is often treated with pain relievers and, if called for, medications to treat the infection that is causing the inflammation of the ureter. I hope this clarifies your doubt, if not the may be you need to discuss it in detail.
