Question: MY14 YEAR OLD SON WAS RECENTLY DIAGNOSED WITH TWISTED KIDNEY. HE WAS TAKEN TO EMERGENCY FOR BLOOD IN THE URINE, AFTER A BAD HIT IN HOCKEY. AND SENT HOME WITH A DIAGNOSIS OF UTI, WE WENT TO THE GP A FEW DAYS LATER AND ORDERED AN ULTRA SOUND AND FROM THERE SENT US TO A UROLOGIST WHO ORDERED A CT SCAN. THEY SCAN SHOWED A TWISTED KIDNEY. WE WENT BACK TO THE FAMILY DR FOR BLOOD WORK FOR ESR, TO LOOK FOR AUTO IMMUNE DISEASE, AS MY SON HAD KAWASAKI'S DISEASE. THESE TEST HAVE COME BACK NEGATIVE.

I WOULD JUST LIKE TO KNOW IF YOU FEEL WHETHER OR NOT HE SHOULD SEE A PEIDATIRC NEPHROLOGIST, OR CAN HE LIVE A HEALTHY LIFE WITH A TWISTED KIDNEY
