Interesting about you and your mother’s extra kidneys/ureters. My sister has something called a duplex ureter, where she has two smaller kidneys and two ureters on the right and one normal on the left. We were told the duplex side may not have as much function and she would not be considered for donation. She does not have the PKD I inherited from our mom. She also has a different blood type. So did your mother donate one from the duplex (double) side?

@jennifer0726 hello! My mother had a double on one side which had ureters attached to each one. Both kidneys were of normal size and function. I believe i was given the single kidney with ureter because she had only 80% function at 65 years old and the double was all she needed. She lived to be 75 with no problems with her kidneys. 😊 Her kidney will be 95 years old this September. Its on its way out now.
