Introduction
In general, whether right kidney atrophy needs to be treated or not depends on the specific circumstances. If the atrophy of the right kidney is severe and has already affected the patient's renal function, or even led to complications such as hypertension and heart failure, prompt medical intervention at a hospital is necessary to relieve symptoms and prevent further kidney damage.
In general, whether right kidney atrophy needs to be treated depends on the specific circumstances and should be determined based on individual conditions. The detailed analysis is as follows:
1. Required
If the patient has severe right kidney atrophy that significantly affects kidney function and leads to complications such as hypertension or heart failure, prompt medical treatment is necessary to alleviate symptoms and prevent further kidney damage.
2. Not required
Given that each person's health condition varies, if the degree of right kidney atrophy is mild, has minimal impact on kidney function, and no other serious complications are present, immediate treatment may not be necessary. However, regular check-ups and monitoring are essential. Under a doctor’s guidance, medications such as Liuwei Dihuang Pills or Shenshuaining Capsules may be used to control disease progression.
Patients are advised to seek timely medical attention when experiencing discomfort and to undergo standardized treatment under professional medical supervision, which helps promote recovery.
