Function of kidney is excretion of waste material in the form of urine. When kidneys are not able to function properly, problem starts arising either in the form of kidneyy shrinkage or if the size is normal then also creatinine and urea level start rising as the kidneys are not able to filter blood properly.
Kidney shrinkage is a problem that decreases the size of kidneys. Shrinkage can be noticed either in one kidney or both of the kidneys.
Causes are as follows-
1. Renal Artery Stenosis- Artery which carries blood to the kidneys gets narrowed hamperimg the functioning of kidneys as kidneys does not get proper nourishment causing atrophy. This causes kidney shrinkage and decreases functioning of kidneys. Toxins start accumulating as excretion through urine is not happening.
2. Pyelonephritis- Pyelo means pus formation and Nephritis means inflammation in nephrons. In this condition it is observed that the patient is suffering from long term UTI(Urinary Tract Infection). UTI is commonly seen in females. It might be due to gram-negative bacteria or viral infection. Urine Culture Sensitivity Test is used to detect the cause of UTI. Urine Culture Sensitivity Test tells whether it is aerobic growth or infection. If the patient complains of frequent urination or burning sensation while urinating then the patient should go for Urine Routine Test. Long-term UTI infection can travel to the kidneys. Minimum medication should give maximized results. When UTI gets converted to Pyelonephritis, the size of one kidney is normal while the other is shrinking.
At Sai Sanjivani, we determine the cause of kidney failure. It might be due to-
–High Sugar Level
–High Blood Pressure
–Infection
Kidney Atrophy might be seen due to Tuberculosis
3. High Blood Pressure- One of the main reason behind kidney failure is high blood pressure. Patient’s Ultrasound determines kidney shrinkage. High blood pressure should be controlled through diet, exercise or medicines.
4. Diabetes- Diabetic patients should keep a check and control their sugar level levels as it can later on cause kidney failure.
We at Sai Sanjivani diagnose the root bcause of kidney failure and start KFRT(Kidney Function Restoration Treatment). KFRT focuses on diet regime and herbal medicines that increase kidney functioning. By increasing functioning of kidneys, waste material start flushing out from the body. Urine Routine Test should be performed to know if there is any condition that is damaging kidneys.
Protein loss in Urine Routine Test indicates intensity of kidney damage. Along with KFRT Kidney Routine Test should be performed.
Acute pyelonephritis is a bacterial infection of the kidney that causes inflammation of the kidney. It is often a complication of a urinary tract infection, and most commonly occurs in young women. Video Rating: / 5

Pyelonephritis is inflammation of the kidney, typically due to a bacterial infection.[3] Symptoms most often include fever and flank tenderness.[2] Other symptoms may include nausea, burning with urination, and frequent urination.[2] Complications may include pus around the kidney, sepsis, or kidney failure.[3]
It is typically due to a bacterial infection, most commonly Escherichia coli.[2] Risk factors include sexual intercourse, prior urinary tract infections, diabetes, structural problems of the urinary tract, and spermicide use.[2][3] The mechanism of infection is usually spread up the urinary tract.[2] Less often infection occurs through the bloodstream.[1] Diagnosis is typically based on symptoms and supported by urinalysis.[2] If there is no improvement with treatment, medical imaging may be recommended.[2]
Pyelonephritis may be preventable by urination after sex and drinking sufficient fluids.[1] Once present it is generally treated with antibiotics, such as ciprofloxacin or ceftriaxone.[4][6] Those with severe disease may require treatment in hospital.[2] In those with certain structural problems of the urinary tract or kidney stones, surgery may be required.[1][3]
Pyelonephritis affects about 1 to 2 per 1,000 women each year and just under 0.5 per 1,000 males.[5][7] Young adult females are most often affected, followed by the very young and old.[2] With treatment, outcomes are generally good in young adults.[3][5] Among people over the age of 65 the risk of death is about 40% Video Rating: / 5

The biggest kidney stone on record weighed more than a kilogram and was 17 centimeters in diameter. The patient didn’t actually swallow a stone the size of a coconut; kidney stones form inside the body. So how do they grow in the first place? And why are they so painful to get out? Arash Shadman shares the science behind kidney stones.
