@jjb1225 My understanding is that nephroptosis is a congenital condition you are born with and the "cause" is truly unknow. My searches of Dr Goggle assured me that they really don't know for sure and that little research is done on nephroptosis because it is rare and in most cases does not cause a problem.

I did want to clear up my mistake here. I was NOT diagnosed with nephroptosis .. I apologize for my memory also.
I did go and look up my records since your descriptions did seem a little "off" from my understanding of my condition.
My condition is called Hydronephrosis ..quite different from yours. Mine is a result of urine backing up into my kidneys causing swelling and "fluid around the kidneys".
I also apologize to the group for messing up this thread too.
Thanks, Margaret
