View allI'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.

I'm a 57-year-old Indian male who's been living and working in the Middle East for 31 years. I've been dealing with chronic kidney failure since 2000, with creatinine levels at 150220 umolL, which was stabilized using Diovan 80. I've also been diabetic since 2007. Recently, I had a heart attack, and they put a stent in my LAD with DES. I'm now on aspirin but I had to stop taking Diovan 80. I'm really worriedwill stopping Diovan 80 make my kidneys fail faster?

How does diabetes affect the kidneys?
With time, raised blood sugar can damage blood vessels in the kidneys as well as nephrons making them not work as well as they should. Many people with diabetes also develop high blood pressure, which can damage kidneys too.
