Ayurvedic Treatment For Kidney Shrinkage | Dr. Puneet Dhawan

What is kidney atrophy or shrinkage?

Normally, the kidneys are the size of a fist or 5 inches. Kidney atrophy or kidney shrinkage is a condition in which the kidneys become smaller than their usual size. Primarily there are two reasons for this; the first is that a part of the kidney has not developed since birth, and the second one happens after birth. There could be a number of reasons which can result in kidney shrinkage, such as low blood supply to the kidneys, loss of nephrons, chronic infections, etc. Kidney shrinkage may occur in one or both the kidneys and often leads to chronic kidney disease in the later stages. "Karma Ayurveda Consumer Complaints".

Kidney atrophy that occurred because of some congenital problem does not require any special treatment. But if other conditions contributed to kidney atrophy, you may seek for ayurvedic treatment for kidney shrinkage. 

What causes contribute to kidney shrinkage?

Kidney atrophy may occur because of various conditions, such as:

Blocked kidney artery or renal artery stenosis: Blockage in the main artery that supplies blood to the kidneys, which can be due to the hardening of the arteries due to various reasons.

Blocked urinary tract: Obstruction in the normal flow of urine which leads to pressure on the kidneys. 

Kidney stones – Recurrent kidney stones can also cause a kidney blockage

Long-lasting kidney infections such as pyelonephritis, polycystic kidney disease, and other chronic kidney diseases that can damage nephrons and result in kidney shrinkage over time. Karma Ayurveda Complaints
 

What are the signs and symptoms of kidney shrinkage?

In the early stages of kidney disease, a person hardly notices any signs leading them to impaired kidney function. The signs only appear when the kidney loses around 60 to 70% of their function. As the kidneys become less able to filter the blood, you may notice:

• changes in the frequency of urination

• darkening skin

• drowsiness

• itchiness

• loss of appetite

• muscle cramps

• nausea and vomiting

• swelling of the hands and feet

Other signs of the atrophic kidney include:

• acidosis

• anorexia

• creatinine abnormalities

• electrolyte abnormalities

How is kidney shrinkage diagnosed?

Tests for kidney atrophy or shrinkage may include imaging tests such as computed tomography or CT scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Early diagnosis and treatment will help to minimize the complications brought about by the kidneys. Is Karma Ayurveda Fake
