কিডনি কেন সঙ্কুচিত হয়? | Kidney Shrinkage Reasons | Dr. Puru Dhawan | Sriaas The kidneys, situated below the rib cage on each side of the lower spine, exhibit a common anatomical asymmetry, with the left kidney typically being larger and positioned higher, closer to the heart, than the right. While atrophy, characterized by abnormal shrinkage and function, can affect one or both kidneys, the left kidney tends to be more susceptible. Atrophic kidneys, often referred to as kidney shrinkage, signify a reduction in size and impaired function. These vital organs play a crucial role in filtering waste from the blood, regulating fluid balance, and controlling blood pressure. In the early stages of renal disease, functional decline may occur unnoticed, ranging from 30 to 40% before symptoms become apparent. As kidney function diminishes, various symptoms may arise, including changes in urine frequency, skin darkening, drowsiness, itching, loss of appetite, muscle spasms, nausea, vomiting, hand and foot swelling, elevated creatinine levels, and malnutrition. Several factors can contribute to kidney damage and shrinkage, such as acute injury, toxin exposure, or underlying medical conditions like hypertension, diabetes, or urinary tract infections. Strategies for managing kidney shrinkage involve lifestyle modifications such as reducing protein and salt intake, opting for phosphorus-free foods, and moderating potassium consumption. Additionally, maintaining optimal blood pressure and effectively managing diabetes are vital for preserving kidney function and preventing further shrinkage.
