Hi
The right kidney seem to be small compared to the left kidney. However the creatinine level seems normal and hence the left kidney is compensating well for the loss of right kidney. The severity of damage can only be assessed by a test called a renogram which will give a comparison of how much right kidney is functioning compared to left kidney.
