Patient's question:
Doctor, my father-in-law previously had kidney disease and was treated for it. Later, it was considered cured, so it was left unattended. Recently, my father-in-law had a physical examination and found that he had bilateral kidney atrophy. Hello, Doctor, how is bilateral kidney atrophy treated?Doctor's answer:
If the kidneys are atrophic, it is generally considered an expression of chronic kidney disease. This indicates that the condition has been present for a long time, with prolonged inflammation. If this is combined with changes in kidney function, it would be considered chronic kidney disease. In this case, symptomatic treatment is recommended, involving medications that help stabilize kidney circulation. Regular follow-up at the hospital to monitor kidney function is also necessary. This can be supplemented with traditional Chinese medicine and herbal treatments to aid in (regulating and maintaining health).
