When a CT scan indicates that a kidney is "mildly atrophic," it suggests that the kidney has experienced a slight reduction in size or volume, which may be due to various factors such as chronic disease, decreased blood flow, or prior injury. This atrophy can indicate underlying kidney dysfunction or damage, though it may not be severe. Further evaluation may be necessary to determine the cause and significance of the atrophy. Regular monitoring and follow-up with a healthcare provider are recommended to assess kidney health.
