Description
Aklilu Getachew, Nathan Suga, Jochebed Suga, and Nuhamin Kiflemariam report a rare extra kidney found by chance in two thousand twenty-five. The hosted text dates the report to two thousand twenty-four. A supernumerary kidney is a full extra organ, and single extra kidneys favor the left side.
Their patient was a man aged thirty-five in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, with pain in his left lower flank. Scans by ultrasound and by CT with contrast confirmed a left extra kidney, with no other faults found. Blood pressure was high at the first visit, while exams and lab tests were otherwise plain. Pain care and a follow-up plan were set, since symptom-free cases need watching rather than surgery.
