Hello
Thanks for query .The incidence of Horse shoe kidney is estimated to be 1 in 500 children .

As regards your other queries I would state that most of the individuals with horseshoe kidney have symptoms like pain in abdomen .getting frequent UTI and stone formation .

As regards need for dialysis if taken cared of properly there are very less chances of these kidneys going into chronic renal failure and CKD requiring dialysis .or transplant and they can have normal quality of life like every other normal person .
