comment
The main causes of large kidney are hydronephrosis, polycystic disease, renal cell carcinoma, nephroblastoma/Wilm's tumor (in children), and solitary cysts. If possible, a specific term should be used instead of this one. There are several ways of diagnosing enlarged kidney including intravenous urography.
