Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
The patient who has had a gangrene of the gut- the removal of the necrosed gut is the only treatment which she has already had.
Retroperitoneal fibrosis with no known cause can involve other retroperitoneal structures also which can be diagnosed only by MRI.
Shrunken left kidney in most of the cases is an inborn error and is difficult to be due to any disease condition. There is usually a compensatory hypertrophy of the opposite kidney associated with it to cope up with the renal function.
Mild hydronephrosis involving both kidneys means that the retroperitoneal fibrosis is affecting both the ureters. More fibrosis can lead to renal failure.
As the disease can be associated with many complications, an expert physician care is needed.
