Help docs! i'm trying to find out what causes the kidney to inlarge.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several things: A kidney may have a cyst or a tumor growing in it that will cause is to enlarge. Initially, a blocked or obstructed kidney may also enlarge as it fills with urine. Less commonly a damaged kidney on one side may result in the opposite kidney enlarging and taking up more of the total kidney function.
