Kidney atrophy is when the kidney shrinks in size, often due to a chronic illness. Left unchecked, this may eventually lead to the irreversible loss of kidney function—but kidney atrophy itself is not completely irreversible.

In fact, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment has been found to be helpful in regrowing and strengthening the kidneys.
