Urologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i can understand your anxiety.
You've not written,which kidney is normal and what problems are there.
A pelvic kidney is an abnormal location of a kidney,by birth.
It may be functioning normally or it's function may be very reduced.
Only if it's non-functional on an isotope renal scan,it needs removal.
Also,if it's a focus of infection or cancer,it will need removal.
If you've any doubts,you may send the reports,as a direct question to me.
