How is kidney drop caused?

Nephroptosis may be caused by physiological factors, and may also be related to congenital abnormalities, abdominal trauma and other diseases.

1, physiological factors

pregnant women in childbirth due to the gradual return of normal size of the uterus, resulting in excessive relaxation of abdominal muscle, and thus insufficient support of the renal fossa, can cause nephroptosis.

2, congenital abnormalities in

patients with congenital development period on one or both sides of the renal pedicle is too long, resulting in changes in the anatomical position of the kidney, can induce nephroptosis.

3, abdominal

trauma in patients with abdominal trauma leading to kidney ligament, fat sac, renal fascia and other renal support tissue damage, can cause nephroptosis.
