Q: what does symmetrical renal parenchymal enhancement mean? is this a normal function of kidney or and abnormal function of kidney?

: It is normal finding that when contrast is injected for renal imaging, it makes both kidney turn bright. This is a good news. Unless it is followed by any abnormal findings, things look good. Hope it helps.
