Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal, MD.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

I dont think you should be concerned just yet. Many times this may just be a normal congenital variant. In other words, it may be dilated and big, but it may e normal for you, and you may in fact have it since birth.

I wont attribute your symptoms to it just yet. I will however suggest testing KFT, Vitamin D and DTPA scan.
These will tell us more about the status of the kidney

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other so I can be of help further.

I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.

Please do understand that some details could be extracted from a detailed history and examination.

Please feel free to ask another query. I would be glad to help you. Looking forward to your return query with the details asked so that I can help you further.
(If the answer has helped you, please indicate this)
Best of luck.
