Can kidney atrophy be caused by kidney stones?

Kidney stones can be accompanied by serious complications, including bleeding, urinary tract infection, and decreased renal function. Severe decreased renal function can lead to renal atrophy, with the kidneys on both sides being unequal in size and the affected side being smaller. If renal atrophy occurs, you need to go to the hospital for a strict physical examination, including examinations of renal function and renal function on both sides to assess the size of the renal function on both sides. If you are relatively young and the contralateral kidney function is good, but the affected kidney function is poor, nephrectomy can be performed. If you are older and in poor physical condition and are not suitable for surgical treatment, kidney preservation treatment can be performed.

What medicine should I take for kidney atrophy

The occurrence of renal atrophy often indicates chronic kidney disease, the most common of which is caused by chronic glomerulonephritis, hypertensive renal damage, renal artery stenosis and other related diseases. Therefore, in terms of medication, it is necessary to choose medication according to different causes and specific conditions. Oral medications to protect the kidneys and lower creatinine, as well as control blood sugar, blood pressure, and blood lipids to prevent the aggravation of kidney disease, should be followed up and reexamined regularly in the hospital, and changes in the disease should be evaluated by checking kidney color Doppler ultrasound, renal function and other circulation indicators. In terms of life, attention should be paid to preventing colds and avoiding bad living habits such as staying up late and overwork.
