Should I Be Worried About The Lower Functionality Of One Kidney?
My 17 y/o daughter has one kidney smaller than the other (noticed during a work up for bilateral ureter reimplant surgery done when she was 3). Renal scan at the time showed function about 25% & 75%.No problems since & no further testing. Will she be at higher risk for problems later in life?
One kidney is much more than sufficient for the normal body . Its natures gift who has given compensatory mechanisms for the body. If one kidney is functional nothing to worry about it.
