I'm 22 and I'm kind of worried about my kidney sizes. My right kidney is measuring 7932mm and the left one is at 8333mm. Is that normal, or should I be concerned?

-Yes, your kidney sizes are within the normal range for an adult. Kidneys typically measure 8-12 cm in length and 3-5 cm in width, so your measurements are fine for your age.

In case of any kidney damage it has to be evaluated by a doctor and treated medically. On a general note, you can keep your kidneys healthy by staying hydrated, healthy eating, exercise to keep ideal weight, do not smoke or drink alcohol too much and monitor blood pressure regularly.

My dad's been dealing with kidney disease for the past five years, and we're actively getting treatment. Right now, it seems like his kidney function is between 17 to 19 percent, and his creatinine level is at 5.1. I'm really worried and just wondering at what stage does he actually need to start dialysis, and realistically, how many more years might we be able to prolong his life?
Dialysis will be needed at any point of time once the percentage of kidney function is below 15%. How well a person does on dialysis depends on how well heshe prepares for it. Your patient should get an AV fistula as soon as possible so that dialysis can be initiated in a stress free environment. People can survive on dialysis for years and even decades of proper care is taken.
