Is it normal for the right kidney to measure 9.4 cm and left kidney to measure 9.2 cm. Post date: May 6, 2013. I will assume that the measurements that you provide are length as measured by ultrasound testing. The size of the kidney depends on body size. A normal adult male kidney will be at least 11 centimeters long. A normal adult female kidney will be at least 10 centimeters long. The right kidney is often just slightly longer than the left kidney. You should ask your physician to interpret this test for you.
What Is a Nephrologist? A nephrologist is a medical doctor who specializes in kidney care and treating diseases of the kidneys. The term nephrologist comes from the Greek word ânephrosâ, which means kidney or renal and âologistâ refers to someone who studies. Nephrologists are also called kidney doctors.
Located at the rear of the abdominal cavity in the retroperitoneal space, the kidneys receive blood from the paired renal arteries, and drain into the paired renal veins. Renal physiology is the study of kidney function, while nephrology is the medical specialty concerned with kidney diseases. Diseases of the kidney are diverse, but individuals with kidney disease frequently display characteristic clinical features.
