Hi. I have a big problem. One of my kidneys (the right one) is smaller than the other. My doc has told me that it is ok, but still I worry. I feel like my left kidney is going to die. Anybody with experience on kidneys? Is that ok, to have one kidney smaller than the other, or not?

Kidneys are the size of the fist and I think that it is perfectly normal to have a left kidney larger than the right one. The human body doesn`t need two kidneys, it can work pretty well with only one kidney. Sp, if you have one kidney small and the other one normal, you will have a perfectly normal life. Have to say that one small kidney can give you high blood pressure. But, the problem is when you have two small kidneys (kidney failure).

| the right kidney is smaller than the left kidney because it has less room to develop since the liver is right on top of it. there is nothing to worry about.. it is normal.. |
