How does kidney failure cause renal atrophy?
Renal atrophy is proportional to kidney function, which mean the severer the renal atrophy, the poorer the kidney function. Kidney is composed of two millions nephron which includes glomerulus and renal tubule and so on. Different renal tissues play differ role in kidney function. And when most of them are damaged, they fail to work and become necrotic. At that time, renal atrophy occurs.
With renal atrophy caused by kidney failure, patients usually experience vomit, nausea, fatigue and anemia and so on. All these abnormal condition occur because of failed kidney and in turn, they worsen renal atrophy. Therefore, it is beneficial if people with renal atrophy caused by kidney failure control these conditions actively.

In many western countries, people with renal atrophy caused by kidney failure are mostly suggested to start dialysis or kidney transplant, as there is no effective medical measurement for this condition.
In China, renal atrophy can be treated by Immunotherapy which is the combination of western medicines and estern medicines. Western medicines show quick effects in remitting kidney failure symptoms and they are helpful for protecting residual renal tissues. Chinese medicines in Immunotherapy are applied to improve blood circulation, increase self-curative ability of damaged renal tissues, increase blood flow in kidney and clean toxins in blood. With the joint effects of western medicines and estern medicines, renal atrophy can be improved greatly. Therefore, for these whose renal atrophy is not too serious to treat, Immunotherapy can be put into consideration.
