It turns out the woman had a condition known as “duplex kidneys.”
“In the duplex kidney condition, the kidney forms in two, duplicate parts with separate ureter tubes, as well as a separate blood supply,” Urology Associates said. “In about half of duplex kidney cases, both kidneys are affected with the duplicate ureter and blood supply.”
This condition only affects 1% of the human population and typically causes no harm to the patient and requires no treatment. However, if complications arise, doctors may perform surgery on the patient.
