I have undergone some tests for my kidneys and am seeking expert opinion. The right kidney measures 8.5 x 5.1 cm, and the left kidney measures 12.6 x 6.8 cm. The lab report states a shrunken right kidney with a scarred surface and pelviectasis, suggestive of sequelae of a prior infection. The left kidney shows a small extra renal pelvis and increased post void residual urine volume of 85 cc?

Shrunken kidney suggests chronic damage; residual urine may indicate incomplete bladder emptying. A urologist should evaluate for function and obstruction. Regular follow up is advised.

I have less hunger and visited a consultant. My creatinine level is greater than 10. The size of my kidneys has decreased: right kidney 8.8 cm, left kidney 8.5 cm. Cortical echogenicity is raised in both kidneys. The pelvicalyceal system is normal in both kidneys. What does this indicate?

Please check this report and tell me that report is normal or any major problem? Creatinine range in my report is 1.6. Is it a major problem? Can you help me?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Can a kidney regain its function after hydronephrosis is treated surgically? Are there any medicines or treatments that can help restore kidney function? The hydronephrosis was caused by a long standing stone blockage.
