How To Improve Shrinkage And Enlargement Of Kidney S ?
I have one kidney that has shrank and not suppose to be working and one that has enlarged to make up for the other one but they went to put a catheter in tonight to run some lab work cause my symptoms r getting worse and they had trouble putting it in and was very painful still suffering 4 hours later why is this
What fits your description is something called as compensatory hypertrophy of the other kiday because of reduced function and thus shrinkage in the size of one kidney. Nothing can be done for the shrunkun kidney in most cases but one can have enough kidney function with the sole kidney which has got hypertrophied. Addressing your second query is a bit tricky because the pain after catheter can be because of many reasons commonest being inadequate local anesthetic cream application or block in the catheter, etc.
