Patient's question:
I am 65 years old. Recently, my unit organized a health check-up. The doctor who performed my abdominal ultrasound saw my kidneys and said that there is a problem with my kidneys, and they have already started to atrophy. I am very worried about this disease, and I have not been able to sleep or eat well for several days. I want to know what to do if my kidneys atrophy?Doctor's answer:
If the kidneys' morphology expands again, kidney function is generally affected again. It is recommended to conduct a kidney function test to assess the condition of the kidneys and identify the cause of the kidney function damage. There may be high blood pressure, or the kidney damage may be caused by chemicals. It is advisable to protect the kidney function to prevent further kidney damage and avoid the recurrence of kidney insufficiency.
