Hello, there are several reasons for the kidney to shrink in size.
Usually in chronic kidney disease, the size of kidneys shrink.
Does he have any other complaints? Like decrease in urine output? Or swelling over feet or face?
Sometime even with age the kidney size can shrink a little bit.
I would suggest if there are no other complaints associated, no need to worry about the size of kidney. Just a regular follow up with USG abdomen to look for size changes will suffice.
But if there are other related symptoms, it would be better to get urine examination and renal function test to get it diagnosed and treated accordingly.
Thank you
