What's the right term to use for when my kidney is inflated? i know one was size 15
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hydronephrosis: You might be referring to Hydroneprosis, but there are other reasons to have an enlarged kidney. Refers to distension and dilation of the renal pelvis and calyces, usually caused by obstruction of the free flow of urine from the kidney.
