Due to the size of the kidneys is much smaller than normal range, there will have a lot of kidney function can not play. That is due to kidneys do not have enough blood and nutrition that will make the function lose more and more, the damage on kidneys will be more and more serious than before.
For this kind of patients the treatment should be keep focus on restoring kidney function to make the kidneys have chance to work again. So that the treatment should have able to repair the damage on kidneys and supply necessary nutrition and blood for kidneys.
Congenital renal agenesis, renal failure, acute glomerulonephritis, chronic glomerulonephritis, chronic pyelonephritis and some other disease all contribute to the causes of shrinking kidney. In conclusion, all kind of kidney diseases are a course of kidney fibrosis. Therefore, it is the key to make the shrinking kidney treatment successful that blocking the kidney fibrosis. In addition, to repair the damaged kidney tissue and protect the residual kidney function is also very important.
How to block the progression of kidney fibrosis? Preventing the mesangial cells from growing, inhibiting the activity of collagen regeneration cells and repairing the damaged basement membrane are to recover the mechanical barrier function of glomerulus. After this, repair the charge barrier function of basement membrane. Finally, repair the damaged DNA and improve blood circulation and then the kidney function will be normal again, that is to say, the progression of kidney fibrosis is blocked.
During the process of blocking the kidney fibrosis, protecting the residual kidney function is an obbligato part of shrinking kidney treatment. If the damaged kidney is repaired but the remaining kidney is damaged, the shrinking kidney won’t be treated. Therefore, the patient should pay attention to protect his kidney, while he is accepting the treatment. After this treatment, the shrinking kidney may recover normally.
