Why the area of focal cortical thickens in midpolar region of left kidney. what can be the result & how can it be treated ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dromedary hump?: A common cause of focal kidney thickening of the left kidney is a normal anatomic variant called a dromedary hump. However, suspicious areas that might represent tumor or areas of infection often need a ct scan with contrast or ultrasound with intravenous contrast to make sure a more serious problem is not present.
