Duplex kidney literally means that the child has a double kidney on one side or very rarely both sides. The double section is usually limited to the part of the kidney where the urine collects (the collecting system or renal pelvis), before the urine passes down the bladder via the ureter. However, in some cases there is also duplication of the ureter . This can be a partial duplication (so the ureter is a ‘Y’ shape) or there may be a completely separate extra ureter.The limited duplex kidney (where only the collecting system is double) is usually an incidental finding and rarely causes problems. The more extensive duplication, however, does often cause problems and can typically mean a child is more prone to urine infections. Also the extra ureter can insert into the bladder in an abnormal place or even in the urethra (the tube leading from the bladder to the outside), causing constant urinary dribbling.The duplicated part of the kidney drained by that ureter has often not developed normally (it is known as ‘dysplastic‘) and thus has poor function.
This video describes one of these infant, who had poorly functioning upper moiety on right side and needed Laparoscopic Nephroureterectomy
