Need to know that whether the sizes of the kidneys could be different as per different USG reports done from the same lab even if the kidneys are healthy & there is no problems related to the kidneys ?
Does the sizes of the kidneys fluctuates even under normal circumstances ?

Recently had another routine USG where the size of the right kidney was 10 cm & the size of left kidney was 9 cm.Both kidneys didn't depict any abnormalities as per USG report.Serum creatinine,blood urea,potassium & urine acr all were within normal ranges.Have no problems related to kidneys,as such.
