A member asked:
Are there any proven association between double renal artery for a kidney and renal cancer risk in future?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None described: A double renal artery is a difference in the anatomy of some people. Instead of one artery to the kidney, some may have two. There is no real significance, and no association with cancer.
