Why can single kidney atrophy?

summary

Renal atrophy means that the kidney has pathological changes, which not only makes the patients produce psychological pressure, but also makes the surrounding atmosphere of depression surrounded, so renal atrophy is not a small problem, but many people do not know exactly what causes renal atrophy disease, then, what are the causes of renal atrophy? Now let's have a look.

Why can single kidney atrophy?

First: bilateral kidney or one side of the kidney shrinking is the cause of chronic pyelonephritis, which is also a common cause of renal atrophy. Generally speaking, when chronic kidney disease develops to renal failure, especially renal insufficiency and uremia, the blood muscle, liver and urea nitrogen increase, the kidney is seriously damaged, the kidney parenchyma is damaged, and the kidney will shrink. So remind patients with renal atrophy must pay attention to this, kidney disease occult is very strong, if the glomerular filtration rate is less than 50%, that is, when the kidney damage is serious, the clinical symptoms will produce accordingly. After the diagnosis of renal atrophy, we must actively find out the cause, in order to check the condition. In addition, there are two causes of renal atrophy: renal tuberculosis (unilateral renal shrinkage, with contralateral hydronephrosis or compensatory enlargement), renal artery stenosis and congenital hypoplasia.

Second, unilateral renal atrophy is not uncommon in clinic. Patients often see a doctor with symptoms such as hypertension and low back acid, which can be found by B-ultrasound, kub and IVP. In addition to the original symptoms, no obvious urine blood, urine protein, renal function is normal, but if induced by fatigue, infection, especially urinary tract infection, urinary tract obstruction, damage to renal function, drug use, etc., renal function may rapidly deteriorate, after a number of years of renal atrophy, clinicians should pay attention to it. Generally speaking, renal atrophy is closely related to long-term renal disease. Due to renal diseases, nephron, especially glomerulus, is damaged, resulting in the reduction of the whole kidney volume.

Third: renal atrophy and the role of our kidney can not be separated, between them there is a link between rhinitis, when patients with renal atrophy, that is to say, there will be other complications, hope that patients with renal atrophy can be early systemic examination and treatment, cause attention, so as not to accelerate the development of the disease.

matters needing attention

Adequate vitamin intake is very important, which is a dietary principle for patients with chronic kidney disease. Chronic renal atrophy patients must pay attention to eat more vitamin rich food, so as to meet the needs of patients, such as fresh green leafy vegetables or fruits and other food, but those with high blood uric acid and blood lipid should not eat animal viscera. Vitamin C supplementation is beneficial to the absorption of iron. It can be used as food such as tomato, green leafy vegetables, watermelon, citrus, kiwi fruit and natural fruit juice.
