Yes, typically one kidney is larger than the other. The right kidney is usually slightly smaller and positioned lower than the left kidney due to the presence of the liver above it. However, the size difference is generally minor and varies among individuals. Both kidneys function similarly despite any size discrepancies.
One kidney may be larger than the other due to a condition known as renal hypertrophy, where one kidney compensates for the loss or reduced function of the other. This can occur after kidney removal (nephrectomy), congenital abnormalities, or conditions such as chronic kidney disease. Additionally, variations in blood flow, developmental factors, or certain diseases can also contribute to size discrepancies. It's important for individuals with this condition to undergo medical evaluation to determine the underlying cause.
i assume you mean larger? L is litre, not a measure of speed. 1.6l is larger than 1.3l. Also, usually if a figure is larger than the other, it is bigger regardless as long as the units are the same
6 is an larger number if it is dealing with math.... other than that no numbers is larger than 10...

Either one can be larger (or smaller) than the other.
One kidney may sit higher than the other due to natural variations in anatomy. It is common for one kidney to be positioned slightly higher in the body than the other. This difference in position does not typically affect the function of the kidneys.
i have been told by my doctor that i have my left kidney larger than normal and i need to know why
Yes, it is common for one kidney to be slightly larger than the other. As long as both kidneys are functioning properly and there are no other concerning symptoms, slight differences in size like the ones you described are typically considered normal variations.
No they are currently the same! they are the same and always. your kidney size changes only when you grow, but they grow together.
The sun is larger than some of the other stars. There are many stars that are larger than the sun.
Right
Yes, a human and sheep kidney are very similar to each other. The kidneys also function very similar to each other.

Numerically larger. 6 is greater than 5.
