A member asked:
Is it normal for my child to havr larger left kidney than right kidney. or it is a kind of abnormality/disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably Normal: It depends on how the size of each kidney compares with the norm for your child's age. A determination of the function of the kidneys will also help clarify if this is a variant of normal or indicative of a disease process. It will be prudent to keep any requested follow up to discuss your child's result. Take care
