Patient's question:
I have had chronic nephritis and renal cysts before. In addition to high blood pressure, I have been taking blood pressure medication for 10 years. Recently, I have been experiencing lower back pain and constant fatigue, as well as blood in my urine. A B at the hospital indicated kidney atrophy. I would like to ask you about the treatment methods for kidney atrophy? Can kidneys that have atrophied be completely restored?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, it appears that chronic kidney dysfunction has occurred multiple times. This kidney swelling may directly lead to the loss of function in one kidney. Generally, the swelling cannot be completely restored, and at least kidney function cannot be fully recovered. It is recommended to visit a hospital to check kidney function and see if there is significant kidney insufficiency. If so, it is advisable to receive medication to protect kidney function.
