A member asked:
What is a duplex kidney? should i still go on holiday if i still have a kidney infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
2 ureters: A duplex kidney means the tube draining your kidney into your bladder splits into 2 tubes. Sometimes, it's no big deal and sometimes one of the tubes can be blocked or reflux bladder urine back up to the kidney. This can cause repeat infections. If you don't have a fever or severe pain, you can go on holiday with antibiotics.
