A member asked:
Today i an admitted to ultrasound and doctor is said your right kidney is hypoplastic. and it is half of the left kidney.so what can i do for recover?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nothing: When one kidney is hypoplastic it means that the kidney did not develop. This is not correctable. The focus should be on preserving the remaining kidney function. You can live perfectly well with only one kidney.
