No they are currently the same! they are the same and always. your kidney size changes only when you grow, but they grow together.
Because the right kidney is just below the liver and left kidney below spleen. Liver being larger in size on right side pushes right kidney a little downward, but such an action is not taken by spleen because of its small size on left side.
The right kidney sits under the liver, the largest internal organ. So it's lower down (2-8cm lower) than the left kidney which is under the spleen, a much smaller organ. The tops of the spleen and liver are pretty much in line due to the diaphragm, which is why where their lower borders are makes such a difference.
Yes, typically one kidney is larger than the other. The right kidney is usually slightly smaller and positioned lower than the left kidney due to the presence of the liver above it. However, the size difference is generally minor and varies among individuals. Both kidneys function similarly despite any size discrepancies.
Yes, it is common for one kidney to be slightly larger than the other. As long as both kidneys are functioning properly and there are no other concerning symptoms, slight differences in size like the ones you described are typically considered normal variations.
i have been told by my doctor that i have my left kidney larger than normal and i need to know why
Its bigger because the right lung has more lobs then the left lung.
The left ureter is typically longer than the right due to the position of the left kidney being higher than the right kidney. This difference in position influences the length of the ureters on each side.
The right lung is larger than left lung The left lung is made up of 2 lobes while right is made up of 3 lobes.
I just noticed my left wrist is larger than my right. I, too, am right handed, but this week I was bitten by a cat on my left wrist. After antibiotics the swelling has nearly disappeared, but I fear my wrist will be forever larger than my right.
Liver.
it means bub
One kidney may sit higher than the other due to natural variations in anatomy. It is common for one kidney to be positioned slightly higher in the body than the other. This difference in position does not typically affect the function of the kidneys.
