What can be the reasons of cortical thinning and scarring in kidney ? can surgery be responsible for it ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Kidney stones: You had surgery for stones in your kidney. Sometimes the stone causes blockage of urine and this build up of waste products increases the pressure in kidney leading to scar and thining. The surgery attempts to clear up the blockage.
