Brief Answer:
Needs evaluation for the enlarged kidney

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

I have seen the report attached by you and it looks like there is marked enlargement of the right kidney. Enlargement of the right kidney is most often due to obstruction in the ureter. I strongly advise you to undergo CT scan of the kidney, ureter and pelvis followed by ureteroscopy ( seeing the bladder and ureter directly through camera). This wil tell us what is causing the obstruction.

The pain in the right side of the abdomen is because of the enlarged kidney. Large kidney stretches the capsule causing pain. The best drug to reduce the pain is Tab Tramadol three times a day.

The left kidney is compensating for the loss of function of the right kidney.

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me

Brief Answer:
Not related to kidney

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for getting back

Cough and feeling of body pain is not related to the kidney. It could a throat infection which will require treatment.

The next course of action would be to

1. Get a urteroscopy done to see why your kindeys are enlarged
2.If the ureter is not obstructed then you will have to be managed with the drugs your doctor has given and also symptomatic relief
