Kidney atrophy generally does not need to be removed. If necrosis or inflammation occurs, it needs to be removed.
Kidney atrophy is often related to insufficient renal blood supply. Long-term decline will lead to reduced renal cortex thickness and reduced renal function. One side of kidney atrophy is related to renal artery stenosis, while bilateral kidney atrophy is also related to chronic nephritis
hypertension.
