Inventory of the causes and symptoms of renal atrophy

Pathological anatomy of renal atrophy is a noun , is based on the human kidney volume with age, sex and body height and weight compared with each other , relatively small or significantly reduce an anomaly . Glomerular and tubular part or all of the damage, the kidneys lose the physiological functions. Therefore, changes in renal function and renal atrophy are complementary . Determine the size of the kidneys have important clinical implications , kidney reduced or increased, can prompt kidney disease.
The reason renal atrophy
1 , the left kidney renal atrophy usually occur atrophy, atrophy of the right kidney and renal atrophy symptoms. First, the doctor should be considered in patients with renal atrophy congenital renal hypoplasia , or end-stage renal disease, ie renal failure, uremia , or some acute illness. Such as: acute renal disease, diabetes, renal cirrhosis , kidney transplant rejection , chronic glomerulonephritis, renal cortical necrosis , Alport syndrome, acute tubular necrosis , hypertensive nephrosclerosis .
2 , bilateral renal or kidney narrow side more than the cause of chronic pyelonephritis , which is also a common cause of renal atrophy .
3 , kidneys shrink general development of chronic kidney disease to kidney dysfunction , particularly renal failure, uremia , serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen increased , severe kidney damage, renal parenchymal injury , kidney will be reduced . So be sure to remind patients of renal atrophy great attention to this , a strong occult renal disease , if the glomerular filtration rate below 50 %, that is a serious clinical symptoms of kidney damage was consequential . Renal atrophy after diagnosis must actively find reasons to troubleshoot the condition.
Experts said there are two reasons for renal atrophy : renal tuberculosis ( unilateral renal narrow , with contralateral hydronephrosis or compensatory increase ) , renal artery stenosis and congenital hypoplasia.
Symptoms of renal atrophy
1 , renal atrophy occurs in patients with nausea and vomiting , fatigue , anemia. Continues to deteriorate uremia will occur. Renal atrophy patients with renal atrophy will face leg edema, pruritus symptoms appear and may be accompanied by swelling of the feet , and some patients with back pain will get worse , not sedentary . Kidney atrophy due to long-term kidney problems caused by overwork , suffering from renal atrophy , legs and feet have swollen phenomenon, and elevated blood pressure will be high with exacerbations. The body will gradually thin down.
2 , renal atrophy patients also may have hematuria , hematuria refers to the abnormal increase in urinary excretion of red blood cells , is likely to have severe disease of the urinary system signals . Light microscopy found only polycythemia , called microscopic hematuria ; severe watery appearance wash the meat or contain blood clots , called gross hematuria. That is visible , the urine was usually there 1mL per liter of urine or blood red when water samples were washed meat .

Experts say : Know the symptoms of renal atrophy in some anomalies when we should go to the hospital for kidney B -mode ultrasound examination to know whether the kidneys with renal atrophy , which is the treatment of kidney has a very important significance.
