Right Kidney smaller in size

2021-02-11 21:35:42
During my master health check up, Through ultrasound I have found my right  kidney is smaller in size 8.7 cm with decreased function. But after few days I have taken another ultrasound in another hospital but both the reports came with different outputs..I am confused. Please clarify. FYR attached both ultrasound reports. Also my urine analysis random was normal, 24 hours urine protein was 37.8mg/24 hours. Albumincreatinine ratio ( ratio cannot be calculated since micro albumin level less than the lower detection limit). DMSA scan differential renal mentioned LK : 66.4% , RK: 33.6% with no distinct scarring on both kidneys.

Probably it’s congenital as there is no associated findings. If you have diabetes or hypertension strict control Is essential to prevent any progress towards failure. Get blood for urea / creatinine done and repeat every 6 months
