Dr. Jin Zhongkui
If congenital left kidney atrophy does not cause any discomfort or symptoms, regular hospital follow-up examinations are recommended to monitor changes in the condition promptly. If necessary, surgical removal may be considered as a treatment option. Additionally, during the management of congenital left kidney atrophy, the diet should be light and清淡, with an appropriate increase in high-quality protein-rich foods.
