How to Recover the Function of Atrophic Kidneys

Kidney atrophy refers to the kidneys diminish in size. Kidneys are important organs responsible for filtering blood and discharging wastes products in blood. Once kidneys atrophy, they will not be able to function well followed by a series of clinical symptoms and decline in renal function. If untreated, the persons with atrophic kidneys will develop Renal Failure. Therefore, it is very important to reverse the damaged kidney function due to atrophic kidneys as early as possible.

Kidney atrophy happens when there is a loss of nephrons or poor renal blood circulation. Each kidney is composed of about one million nephrons. If the number of nephrons declines, it will lead to atrophic kidneys. In addition, if the renal arteries are impaired, the kidneys can not get efficient blood and nutrients supply, which also can thin the renal parenchyma thus causing kidney atrophy.

Therefore, the key to recover the function of atrophic kidneys is to improve renal blood circulation and repair the impaired nephrons.

Here Chinese herbal medicine is recommended to the persons with atrophic kidneys. Chinese herbal medicine originates from the ancient time and thousands of years' history has seen its effective efficiency in slowing kidney problems. It is mainly composed of herbs and also has some minerals and insect parts and other natural ingredients.

On one hand, Chinese herbal medicine can dilate blood vessels and clear up the inflammatory factors in blood. Therefore, it can decline the blood viscosity and widen the renal arteries. In this way, the blood and nutrients supply to kidneys increases and relieve the renal ischemia and anoxia.

On the other hand, some effective ingredients in Chinese herbal medicine can provide some essential nutrients for the self-repairing of the impaired nephrons. If renal function has not been damaged seriously, Chinese herbal medicine can recover the normal renal function by repairing the nephrons.

However, if a large part of nephrons are nephritic, the application of Chinese herbal medicine is not enough for recovering renal function. That is why the patients with Kidney Disease are often recommended to receive treatment as early as possible.
