Tubular atrophy refers to the degeneration and shrinking of renal tubules in the kidneys, often resulting from chronic kidney disease or damage. This condition is characterized by a loss of functional nephron units, leading to impaired kidney function. It can be caused by various factors, including ischemia, toxins, or inflammatory processes. Tubular atrophy is typically assessed through kidney biopsies and can indicate underlying renal pathology.
