Results: Median renal lengths were 11.2 cm on the left side and 10.9 cm on the right side. Median renal volumes were 146 cm3 in the left kidney and 134 cm3 in the right kidney. Renal size decreased with age, almost entirely because of parenchymal reduction. Renal volume correlated best with total body area.

They are located just below the rib cage, one on each side of your spine. Healthy kidneys filter about a half cup of blood every minute, removing wastes and extra water to make urine. The urine flows from the kidneys to the bladder through two thin tubes of muscle called ureters, one on each side of your bladder.

A person can live with just 1 healthy kidney. However, when kidney function falls below 25%, serious problems develop. A person with less than 10% to 15% kidney function will need to have treatment to replace kidney function.

Most kidney stones that are less than 5 millimeters (mm) in diameter will pass on their own without surgery. A one centimeter (cm) stone is 10 mm and is unlikely to pass without some type of surgical intervention, such as lithotripsy or other urological procedure.

Usually the right kidney is smaller than the left kidney. The difference between the two sides should be within 15 mm if the right kidney is the smaller kidney, and 10 mm if the left kidney is the smaller kidney.

The following reference ranges (95% inclusion) are proposed: brain, 1179-1621 g; liver, 968-1860 g; spleen, 28-226 g; right lung, 155-720 g; left lung, 112-675 g; right kidney, 81-160 g; and left kidney, 83-176 g.

Small size means that the kidney does not function as well as a normal kidney. One or both kidneys may be affected (it is more serious if found in both kidneys). It does not seem to be passed down from parents to children.

Most people with a single kidney live a normal life without developing any long- or short-term problems. However, the risk of developing mild high blood pressure, fluid retention, and proteinuria is slightly higher if you have one kidney instead of two.
