Question
What’s happening with a 1.5-year-old child’s smaller left kidney? Will it vanish completely? Will it affect growth?
Answer
Generally speaking, the kidneys have a strong ability to compensate, and one kidney can meet the body’s metabolic needs. If the kidney size was normal at birth, it is recommended to take your child for further examination to determine the cause of the smaller kidney to avoid affecting the other kidney. Specifically, it is necessary to go to a regular professional hospital for examination before treatment, relax and actively cooperate with the examination and treatment.
