The sentence " The right kidney is atrophic, but otherwise unremarkable" is very difficult to understand.
Does it mean "the right kidney is absolutely atrophic" ?
Or it means " The right kidney is not surely atrophic, for it is not atropohic because it is not clear.
Or is there any other understanding for the sentence ?

unremarkable - in hospital terms means normal. or another way to put it - nothing really to comment about.
atrophic - i.e. atrophy, a wasting away of the body or of an organ as from defective nutrition or nerve damage.
So depending on the age and condition of the patient - older patient, it sounds very normal. If this is a young person, what are you doing to cause your kidney to atrophy?

Hey! I have an atrophic kidney! Have you been reading my medical records???
I take it that the right kidney is atrophic, but other than that, it is just a kidney like every other kidney.

The emphasis seems to be on "is atrophic." Atrophied, but no sign of tumor etc. If you received this diagnoses, have the doctor clear that up for you.

The right kidney is atrophic, but otherwise seem to have no other pathology.
