What does it mean when a ct scan result says "symmetric enhancement of right kidney compared to left kidney"?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Symmetric enhance: Symmetric enhancement means that both kidney were taking up contrast to same level if contrast was used. Usually means there is inflammation or some other cellular activity (tumor, infection, etc) similar on both sides. Consult with us to help solve this issue.
