Urologist,  's  Response
Hi,

As an Urologist, I can understand your anxiety. Diabetes can cause enlarged kidneys from acute pyelonephritis or infection. Neither portal vein clot or a C section cause enlarged kidneys. Your daughter needs to do following tests to assess severity of damage:

1. Urine routine,culture and ACR.
2. Blood routine, creatinine, FBS, HbA1C, LFT and platelets.
3. A MRI scan to assess the extent of the clot,if not done.

According to the reports, an expert opinion can be given. You may send the reports to me, as a direct question, for my expert opinion.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Matthew J. Mangat.
