[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP. My DS only has one fully functioning kidney. It was was discovered at the 20 week ultrasound. The duplicating collecting system (which he has on one side) is not considered an abnormality. It happens in a small number of the population (maybe 2%) and most do not ever realize it. I believe it’s considered an anomaly but not an abnormality. In almost all cases it causes no issues at all. The thing to watch out for with two ureters is that they both connect into the bladder. Rarely one or both do not and then it creates a blockage because the urine cannot flow out. My DS has this with one of the ureters but it was very obvious on the ultrasound. See a urologist and they will explain everything to you. You only need one kidney. It is scary I know. Best of luck to you. I have been in a similar spot. My DS had 3 surgeries to correct his issues and he is absolutely fine. [/quote]
