Do you know that just like any organ, our kidneys are bound to shrink because of certain health conditions? Normally kidneys are about 10 to 12cm, just like the size of a fist. But in kidney atrophy, the size reduces greatly to 2 or more inches less than the normalized.
There are two prominent reasons why this happens, first is because of the part of the kidney that does not develop from birth and the second being loss in the size of the kidney after birth.
In some cases, kidney shrinkage does not need any special treatment but if you have shrinkage in both the kidneys, you need to take kidney shrinkage treatment in India. Having both kidneys smaller than the actual size can even lead to kidney disease.
The condition may even lead to kidney failure if no special treatment is taken.
