In recent years, the frequency of kidney atrophy is increasing year by year, more and more people are entangled by kidney atrophy this child disease, in the end what causes the occurrence of kidney atrophy? The following is an introduction to the causes of the onset of renal atrophy, experts say that only from the root cause to eradicate, in order to completely away from the disease, to prevent the occurrence of the disease, while hoping to do a good job of preventive measures. First of all, after learning that renal atrophy needs to be considered as congenital renal dysplasia, followed by end-stage renal disease, namely renal failure, uremia or certain acute conditions. Such as: acute glomerular disease, diabetic nephrosclerosis, renal transplant rejection, chronic glomerulonephritis, renal cortical necrosis, alport syndrome, acute tubular necrosis , hypertensive nephrosclerosis. Bilateral kidney or one kidney shrinkage is mostly the cause of chronic pyelonephritis, which is also a common cause of renal atrophy. Double kidney shrinkage generally speaking chronic kidney disease developed to renal insufficiency, especially when renal failure, uremia, blood creatinine, urea nitrogen elevated, serious kidney damage, kidney parenchyma is injured, the kidney will shrink. So remind patients with renal atrophy must pay high attention to this disease, kidney disease insidious is very strong, if the glomerular filtration rate is less than 50%, that is, the kidney damage is serious when the clinical symptoms are produced accordingly. After the diagnosis of renal atrophy must be actively looking for the cause in order to rank the condition. There are two other causes of renal atrophy: renal tuberculosis (unilateral kidney shrinkage with hydronephrosis or compensatory enlargement of the opposite kidney), renal artery stenosis and congenital dysplasia. The cause of renal atrophy is closely related to prolonged kidney disease, as kidney-like diseases lead to damage to the kidney units, especially the glomerulus, causing the entire kidney to appear reduced in size. Renal atrophy and renal function changes are complementary to each other, and renal insufficiency and to renal failure – uremia – are already present or inevitable when patients develop renal atrophy. Above is the explanation of the common causes of renal atrophy, in order to get rid of the torment of renal atrophy, I hope that patients in the future of daily life can always pay attention to and attach great importance to their condition, timely and good physical and mental examination to prevent the occurrence of renal atrophy, and finally wish you all can stay away from the hazards of renal atrophy.
