Babies missing both kidneys cannot survive without treatment but the only available treatment is experimental. Once diagnosed through a prenatal ultrasound, this defect can be addressed in utero with a series of amnioinfusions. This means that physicians inject saline solution into the amniotic sac to help the baby’s lungs develop.
Once the lungs start to develop, some stress is taken off the baby’s system and he or she may be able to survive once outside the womb.
If not improved may need dialysis.
