Posted on Wed, 3 Sep 2014
Question: My daughter who is 23 years of age has been told she has a rare kidney disorder that she was born with. No-one knew this before now. She has been told her kidneys are half the size of an adult. Is this rare disorder something to worry about as she has 3 small boys and currently quite healthy.

Please upload any reports of the same

Detailed Answer:
Your question lacks significant information.

The one who could lead a normal life till the age of 23, and could conceive three times normally, is supposed to be having a healthy life.

The structural abnormalities in kidney can manifest at any age, though present since or even before birth.

We need more information on the reports to tell you whether such a condition is not truly rare, and also tell you whether it has any clinical/ health significance and what would be the prognosis in the future.
