there is a normal kidney on one side and two intertwined kidneys on the other with a uterer that bipasses the bladder and is very large/long intertwining around organs/intestines (intestinal looking). there are more tests scheduled for tomorrow and we'll find out when surgery is. I would like to hear from anyone familiar with this so I'll know what to expect.

I have not found anything that can really help you out other then to tell you kidney Surgery is a normal practice and your child will be ok after. If you need to find any other kind of information on groups or finance help if that is what you may need just e-mail me and I can help find out what is out there for you.

My sister in law actually has a third kidney. She went to a nephroligist and thankfully her extra kidney is working well. She still goes in for testing every once in a while to be on the safe side. Every once in a while she will be in pain almost as if she has kidney stones but she doesn't. she just continues to get checked by her nephrologist. Unfortunately, it sounds as if your child isn't as lucky. I would agree with the other persons answer and talk to a nephrologist. they can definately explain it better to you. But there is actually people out there that function normally with a third kidney!
