What does nephromegaly refer to?

Enlargement of the liver
Enlargement of the kidney
Enlargement of the heart
Enlargement of the bladder

The correct answer is: Enlargement of the kidney

Nephromegaly specifically refers to the enlargement of the kidneys. This condition can arise from various underlying causes, including kidney disease, tumors, or obstruction. Understanding this term is important in veterinary medicine, as it can be associated with several health issues in animals. Enlargement of the kidney can lead to dysfunction, pain, and potentially impact overall health. Recognizing nephromegaly during physical examinations or imaging studies can guide veterinarians in diagnosing and treating kidney problems effectively.
