A member asked:
If someone has a left pelvic kidney are there serious problems that may come in the future? and is there anyway of fixing that kidney?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fix only if injury: Pelvic kidneys(ectopic) is more mobile (lacks normal attachment) than normally located kidneys. Usually pelvic kidney is smaller. The collecting system and ureter can kink causing hydronephrosis or dilated collecting system. This can increase incidence of stones and infection. Blunt trauma to the pelvis can damage kidney. If in contact sports, need protective wear. Many people have no problems.
