A member asked:

I have a horseshoe kidney so can i still donate a kidney?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not a likely choice: The horseshoe configuration is usually derived from a separation failure of embryonic kidney tissue in early life. Instead of forming two distinct kidneys, one is formed. An ultrasound could confirm this.
