    Unilateral renal atrophy, often discovered due to urological symptoms like pain and hematuria, is more common in women. Surgical intervention is recommended for severe symptoms, but not solely for hypertension relief.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Urology

    Context:

    • Unilateral renal atrophy presents with diverse urological symptoms.
    • Hypertension is an infrequent presenting complaint for renal atrophy.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the causes, diagnostic methods, and management of unilateral renal atrophy.
    • To evaluate the role of surgical intervention and its impact on hypertension.

    Summary:

    • The study analyzed 45 cases of unilateral renal atrophy, predominantly discovered through urological symptoms such as pain, hematuria, and pyuria.
    • Intravenous urography, retrograde cystography, and arteriography are crucial for etiological diagnosis, while dynamic scintiscanning assesses differential renal function.
    • Urinary tract obstruction was a more common cause than parenchymal disease, though etiology remained undetermined in one-third of cases.

    Impact:

    • Surgical treatment is indicated for persistent severe symptoms caused by urological abnormalities.
    • Nephrectomy solely for hypertension management in unilateral renal atrophy is not advised, highlighting the need for careful consideration of treatment strategies.
