Usually, chronic kidney disease is associated with small or shrunken kidneys. However, there are certain conditions with enlarged kidneys despite poor function. Those include polycystic kidneys, kidney inflammation, hydronephrosis (obstruction of urine outflow), diabetes kidney and kidney failure due to HIV infection. There are other less common causes, which a kidney specialist can easily determine through appropriate testing.
