Hi,
Duplex kidney means two poles of a kidney developed seperatly and remain seperated but attached to same ureter, and pelvi calyceal system may be seperate.
this may not cause a problem but if this is associated with obstruction require treatment. your child is havind duplex kidney associated obstruction in collecting system which requires treatment.
Take care
