What Is The Medical Term For Individuals With Single Kidney?
I have identical twin grandaughters. After birth 10 years ago, one was found to have one kidney that had not developed. We were told that she could live a normal life, but should not participate in contact sports. Of course we're faced with the problem of her now wanting to participate in the very sports which were advised against. What is the medical name for this aliment, and the seriousness.
