It may be good for the kidney to been enlarged if the other kidney is not functioning. The body will enlarge one of the kidneys to make up for a poorly function of the other kidney.

Various possibiliies: mostly not so good. Without an actual examination, I cannot give specific medical advice on your particular health mostly it is due to a blockage out from the kidney, and the kidney blows up like a balloon. It is treated by removing the blockage. Polycystic kidney sometimes a kidney is just big without abnormality but this isn't so common.
