A member asked:

If my kidneys say normal, right side measures 110 mm length, cortical echo genicity normal, parenchyma thickness preserved, hydronephrosis none. my left kidney is 105mm length. everything else the same as my right kidney. what does it mean?

Hands, feet, length of arms, etc are not precisely the same. The difference in kidney size reported is not clinically significant.

The difference in kidney longitudinal dimension (length) of right and left kidney is usually within 10 mm. So your left kidney's length is only 5 mm smaller than the right so it is completely normal and overall both kidneys' length are at good sizes for your age. The summary of the reading will be normal kidney appearances by ultrasound.
