Usually, ok...: Most often a horseshoe kidney is incidentally found in CT scan for searching/confirming diseases in/behind abdomen including renal stone, but patients with this congenital malformation/abnormality usually still live a normal life like others except requiring special attention /precaution & even techniques to manage its diseases like stone or tumor. So, it's okay as long as being free of its diseas
