A member asked:
Does a restricted ureter have an effect on long-term kidney function?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: It depends on the degree of restriction.It takes only 10% of one kidney to maintain adequate kidney function, but its never a good idea to lose a kidney if you dont have to.
