Renal atrophy is generally very difficult to cure, and the treatment is mainly aimed at slowing down the progression of renal function and preventing the deterioration of renal function.
Renal atrophy refers to the reduction of kidney volume, the presence of glomerulosclerosis, tubular atrophy and interstitial fibrosis and other pathological manifestations, which is divided into unilateral and bilateral renal atrophy, and is generally very difficult to cure.
1. Unilateral renal atrophy: it is difficult to be cured, commonly found in renal artery stenosis, congenital dysplasia, pyelonephritis, etc. Early detection and early intervention, the prognosis is better. The patient’s other healthy kidney can compensate. The impact on renal function is often not significant.
2. Bilateral renal atrophy: both kidneys are at the same time, commonly seen in chronic renal failure, etc. The main purpose of treatment is to slow down the progression of renal function and prevent the deterioration of renal function.
Patients with renal atrophy should go to the hospital in time and be treated under the guidance of professional physicians.
