Description
Allina Flores-Mendoza, Victor Camacho-Trejo, and Lilia Rizo-Topete present the case of a 39-year-old woman believed to have only one kidney, in a 2023 report. She arrived with two weeks of belly pain, swelling, and painful urination, but no fever. Blood work showed mild anemia and her kidney function was normal, while urine tests pointed to infection and blood in the urine.
A CT urogram overturned the old belief: she had two kidneys, but the right one sat down in the pelvis, swollen by a large stone blocking its outlet. The left kidney showed milder swelling. After two days of antibiotics, doctors removed the stone through a small puncture procedure, and her symptoms cleared fully. The authors discuss misplaced kidneys and their risks.
