NEPHROPTOSIS OR RENAL FAILURE

Abstract

Nephroptosis is a fall of the kidneys. Congenital nephroptosis is caused by a weakening of the ligaments that hold the kidneys, while acquired nephroptosis is caused by an injury, sometimes very short-term weight loss, or by weakening of the abdominal wall muscles after pregnancy. In the first stage, when the lower part of the kidney is caught (in a healthy person, the kidney is not caught), in the second stage, the kidney is completely removed, and in the third stage, it is pushed in all directions. In the early stages of nephroptosis, the patient may feel almost nothing. Occasionally there is pain in the lower back, bladder, or bladder, especially in the kidneys, abdomen, or umbilicus.
