Atrophic kidney can be divided into three types.
1. The left kidney becomes atrophic.
2. The right kidney becomes atrophic.
3. Both of the kidneys become atrophic.
Causes of atrophic kidney
1. congenital renal aplasia
2. Advanced stage of kidney diseases are such as renal failure( kidney failure), uremia, the specific types of which can be divided into acute renal glomerular disease, diabetic renal fibrosis, the rejection of kidney transplant, chronic glomerular nephritis, renal cortical necrosis, Alport syndrome, acute renal tubular necrosis, hypertensive renal sclerosis.
Process
When atrophic kidney appears, it indicates that chronic kidney disease has developed into renal failure stage, and even advanced renal failure stage uremia. In this stage, serum creatinine increases, blood urea nitrogen inceases, the kidney is damaged seriously, the renal parenchyma appears, and kidneys become atrophic accordingly. If atrophic kidney appears, it means that the renal glomerular filtration rate becomes less than 50% for kidney has a strong ability of compensation.
Measures
1. Chronic kidney disease patients who have had atrophic kidney must stop drinking alcohol and stop smoking as well as having enough rest.
2. If only one side of kidney is atrophic, patients can consider cutting off the atropic one.
3. We can decline the level of serum creatinine by dialysis for the time being, and control the intake of protein.
Treatment
Once in renal fibrosis or atrophic kidney stage, there must be three kinds of intrinsic cells in the kidney, which are healthy or normal ones, damaged ones and necrotic ones. The proportion of the damaged and even necrotic ones takes up a larger ratio. To solve it, we should both repair the damaged ones with Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and differentiate into new ones which can replace the necrotic ones with Immunotherapy.
Firstly, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy improves the insufficiency of blood and oxygen in the kidney with its active materials, blocks the renal fibrosis to some extent, and revives the renal function to some degree.
Secondly, as for those necrotic ones, Immunotherapy can differentiate into the new ones, which can help rebuild renal structure and recover renal function.
