These kidneys were removed from a patient who had blockage of one ureter leading to increased pressure in the renal pelvis. The increased pressure produced hydronephrosis (arrow) in one kidney. What is the cause of atrophy in this case?

Hydronephrosis is dilation of the renal pelvis and atrophy of the cortex due to increase pressure from retained urine.
