Brief Answer:
Repeat the ultrasound

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

I would insist you to get a repeat ultrasound of KUBP (Kidneys ureters boarder prostate) done. If the kidney is still not visualized, it would indicate that the right kidney has not been present/formed since birth and that the left kidney is substituting its function. Get the ultrasound done and upload the report and I will guide you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thank you.
