Hey guys !!

I m back again

I have a query please can anyone explain what does it mean "Kidney Atrophy"..

Three months earlier when my hubby's nephrologist sent him for ultra sound it was discovered that one of his kidney is small in size..

Can anybody have same diagnosis at stage 3 with grf 53??

Really appreciate your comments 😊😊

I just have to admit that CKD is something that we discover new things every single day.

It's a continuous journey which has no end I guess..

Thanks

Take care ..

Bye bye😊😊

Hi Fatiooi and thank you for your post. Kidney atrophy means that the kidney is smaller than normal. This type of kidney atrophy is due to a lower blood supply to the kidney[s] and/or loss of nephrons, the basic working units of the kidneys. Chronic infections or blockage of the kidney can also result in kidney atrophy.

More information can be found on-

National Kidney Foundation

Symptoms, diagnosis and treatment are covered. I hope this is helpful to you. Are any other forum members able to help Fatifooi, please?

Thank you and best wishes
