General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

The report is a bit concerning. Actually there is congenital abnormality in the kidney that's is instead of two kidney lying apart , the two kidneys are attached in the middle (horse shoe kidney).

Besides this , there is obstruction to the draining of urine in left kidney hence causing accumulation of fluid in that kidney which has caused some damage to that kidney.

This would need further work up. So this would need details work up and palm ahead.

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

Regards,
