To the etiology, pathogenesis and treatment of nephroptosis

Nephroptosis is observed mainly in women, especially in those who have given birth. Pregnancy and childbirth cause significant hormonal changes in the body and certain violations of intra-abdominal pressure, weakening of the fixing apparatus of the kidney. Landau points out that pregnancy, especially repeated pregnancy, leads to relaxation of the abdominal wall and a decrease in intra-abdominal pressure. The act of birth itself has an active effect on the kidney, a strong contraction of the muscles of the back wall of the abdomen and the diaphragm traumatizes the kidney and contributes to its prolapse.
