Question
What’s the situation if a child is born with only one kidney? The prenatal examination didn’t reveal any issues. How should treatment be approached for this condition?
Answer
It is recommended to first undergo a check-up to rule out any underdeveloped kidneys. If there is a functioning kidney, it will not affect the child. A healthy person can live normally with one good kidney. If the other kidney is normal, it will not have any impact on the body, as one kidney can fully maintain a person’s kidney excretion and secretion functions. Generally speaking, just paying attention to daily protection and adequate rest is sufficient.
