What Do My Lab Test Reports Indicate?

default
Posted on Mon, 4 Apr 2016
Question: Kidneys are very different sizes. "The right kidney measures 11.4cm. There are no gross abnormalities."
"The left kidney measures 1.8cm. There are no gross abnormalities." Is exactly what the report says. Is that normal for them to be so different in size?
