Difference in kidney: size is normal, recurrent UTI is not. More common in females than males. But this is obviously why you had the CT? The combination of back & UTI is why it was done. Especially if your UTI are recurrent. Listen to the advice of your urologist, & follow it as he/she dictates.

See remark: If it is uniformly slightly enlarged,with no evidence of enlargement of the ureter ,one would watch it.Is your back pain on the right? Are the infections associated with bladder symptoms such as frequency,burning,leakage,etc What did the physician recommend? You may need cystoscopy (looking inside bladder) by a urologist,and the urologist can ascertain cause of enlarged kidney

Why enlarged?: In this situation we need to know why the kidney is enlarged. I'm sure your physician will evaluate your pain and why one of the kidneys is enlarged. What does the other kidney look like? This all needs to be taken into consideration to help clarify your symptoms
