Hello Jasmine! I haven't heard that term in years! Is yours bilateral? It basically means that you have a duplicated kidney(s). I am only aware of this condition in children, I guess it depends on when it is discovered. A condition (please consult you Urologist) to be aware of is vesicoureteric reflux, which means the urine "backs up" to the kidney(s). This can be very dangerous! If you have any other questions/ concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me anytime!
