Insights about Ectopic Kidney by Sujit Chatterjee

..“At that instance, due to some defect, the kidney lags behind in reaching its allocated location; known as an ectopic kidney. Generally for each individual, two kidneys are present, also known as ‘Gurda’ which is located near the backline of the body; and adjacent to the spinal cord, on either side. Further, via the kidney, urine through the urethral opening comes down to the bladder and keeps accumulating there. At appropriate timing, urine emanates from the human body, says professionals at Hiranandani Hospital Kidney Department. This, however, is a normal procedure, but in an ectopic kidney, either or both kidneys are placed apart from their allocated regions. This can happen on one side or both sides. Sometimes, both kidneys are based at the lower channels of the pelvic region, instead of the upper region of the body.
