Chronic Atrophic Pyelonephritis
The nephrologist is the specialist who evaluates chronic atrophic pyelonephritis, long-standing kidney damage in which the kidney shrinks and scars form, generally as a result of repeated urinary tract infections or urine reflux.
Common symptoms: it can be silent, though at times high blood pressure, recurrent urinary tract infections, fatigue, or changes in the urine appear.
When to see a doctor? Recurrent urinary tract infections or a history of reflux warrant an evaluation of kidney function.
Which specialist treats it? The nephrologist—and the pediatric nephrologist in children—studies the state of the kidney, while the urologist and the general practitioner collaborate depending on the case, and even the emergency physician in an acute episode. It is advisable to bring up this history with one of these professionals.
