A member asked:
Does the size of a kidney affect how much pain you'll feel from pyelo?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tough to say: There is no direct correlation to my knowledge between size of kidney and pain in pyelonephritis. However, a larger kidney still may reflect more infection ( so called phlegmon formation).
