As a child, I had urography and micturition cystography. As a result of the tests, it turned out that I have excessively mobile kidneys on both sides. Please tell me what this means?

The kidneys are respiratory movable, which means that during inhalation and exhalation they move according to the movement of the chest. Excessive mobility of the kidneys is most often associated with too little fatty tissue surrounding the kidney. This causes the kidney to drop lower when in an upright position than most people. Such a situation can cause pain in a certain group of people due to the bending of the ureters, and thus hindered outflow of urine from the kidneys. If the problem is severe, consider suspending the kidney to reduce mobility. In your case, I believe that there are no complaints, as you do not mention it in the question.
