Localized thinning of the renal parenchyma can be caused by hydronephrosis, and atrophy due to vascular origin or the kidney itself can also cause thinning of the renal parenchyma. No matter what the cause is, you should go to the hospital in time and get professional treatment under the doctor’s guidance, and if necessary, surgery is possible.
Thinning of renal parenchyma is generally caused by two reasons: one is caused by hydronephrosis, such as ureteral stones, tumors, inflammation, polyps, retroperitoneal fibrosis, prostate hyperplasia, etc., which leads to serious hydronephrosis and is not timely relieved of obstruction. It can be treated by shock wave lithotripsy and other ways under the guidance of doctors, and if necessary, it can be treated by nephrectomy and other ways.
Another kind of thinning of the renal parenchyma is caused by atrophy due to vascularization or the kidney itself, and the cause of thinning needs to be found out in the doctor’s consultation.
Therefore, it is recommended that patients with thin renal parenchyma should go to regular hospitals for timely consultation, complete examinations to identify the cause of the disease, and then give targeted treatment or therapy under the guidance of doctors.
