Patient's question:
My husband carefully checked and found left kidney atrophy. The doctor said it needs to be removed, but my husband's health is not very good and he is afraid he can't handle it. Is it necessary to remove the left kidney atrophy?Doctor's answer:
If the careful examination results of the patient's kidneys show swelling and loss of function, it may be necessary to consider kidney removal surgery. If unclear, it may interfere with another normal kidney, so it is still necessary to respect the urologist's diagnosis. If the doctor recommends removal, it should be considered to better protect the other kidney. Pay attention to the examination of renal function. If the renal function is normal, elective surgery can be considered.
