Hi all,
I haven't posted on here before but was hoping for any advice, help or information that anyone could share.
In my husband's family there are a couple of people with kidney problems. All the drs say that they are not hereditary or genetic but as a number of them have exactly the same issue I nagged and nagged the dr to get an ultrasound for my 10 month old son. So we went last week and I felt a bit silly and like I was wasting their time but during the scan they could not find his right kidney. They told us that it is most likely it didn't develop properly although there were no issues at my 20 week scan. I am trying to research but all the info I can find is when they pick this up at the 20 week scan.
I am waiting for a referral to a specialist at the moment but am totally confused and worried. How can his kidney disappear? Or did they miss something at the 20 week scan? What does this mean for his future?
Anyone with any advice or experience of this? I would appreciate some help.
