A member asked:

What causes kidneys to become lobulated when they were not before?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Genetic: It could be genetic or that's what you were born with. If any other concern then should have a repeat sonogram in 6 months to rule out possibility of cysts and mass. Ct may be beneficial is sonogram is not conclusive.
