[|Human|] Just had cystoscopy, ureteroscopy, urethral dialation, retrograde pyleogram?, and a right stent in kidney inserted. They found that I have 3 kidneys also. 2 on my right side. what does this mean? what are the affects of this? Also, is this the reason for my complicaations and pain over the years? Am I more prone to kidney cancer now?
[|AI|]  Hello carry;welcome to Chat Doctor The third kidney is discovered accidentally during investigation for your other problem. The third kidney may have been in your body since birth, so it is fine at the most there could have been pain in abdomen on exertion which you can relate to it.Also, it is important to see whether it is fully functional or has different ureter or is attached to the same. Any way the complications may not have been due to the third kidney, and you are surely not more prone to kidney cancer in fact you are more safe so that if 2 get spoiled you have third, so you are lucky. Please discuss with your urologist. Take care. Thanks
