A member asked:
My child right kidney function 98%, left function 2%.how could it can possible full funtion of left kidney?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: It is possible your baby has a congenital defect in the left kidney, or ref lux. Normally both have equal function. It is likely the right kidney is contributing to all of total expected function, and your doctor will be able to determine that. This needs to be closely monitered and any possibility of reversibility.Most children are fine with one functioning kidney.
