3 kidneys.. Thats super cool. I wish I had 3. I would donate 1 to someone who severely needs it, it would make me feel more comfortable about myself and make me feel like i've done some good in my life.

40, found out today I have three. Normal right, two small on the left. Never picked up in the UK, but my first scans in China caught them right away.
Never had a single infection, one of the small ones retains a little water but NEVER been ill or uncomfortable.
lets have a party.

If you donate a kidney, the kidney recipient's insurance pay for all of your medical costs. I don't know about time off from work, and while you cannot get paid for a kidney I'm sure any kidney recipient would be more than happy to compensate you for that time you had to take off to provide them with a new life.

I was born with 3 kidneys, found out when I was 20 and have had no illness related to this. Though as a skinny 47 year old who stilll cannot put on weight (I eat normally) and finds it hard to relax, I wonder if I also have three adrenal glands and if this would have an effect?

Hi I can relate to this, my daughter had high temp due to water infection, last july aged 2, and ended up in hospital on a drip, when investigated further she has 3 kidneys, was told that may not cause any more side effect, but one year on she has just had another water infection and a course of strong antibiotics and now 2 weeks later another one. We are now to waiting for a doctor to get back to us and let us know what happens next, probably a scan to see if she has reflux. Apparently they put in dye and see where it goes... I dont know what happens after this.

I have three kidneys, too. Two normal ones and another smaller one on the left side. I used to get infections, ahem, down below, as a child and it took doctors a while to figure out that I have a third kidney and it was acting up. Because the third kidney is smaller, it doesn't function very properly. It hasn't bothered me in a long time, though, and I live a normal life.

Would they ever remove a third kidney if its functional to donate to someone? Is that even ano ption? I'd like to know if that's possible. Thanks!

I'm 32 and found out about my 3 functional kidneys and 3 ureters at the age of 11. My 40 year old sister found out a few years after me that she had 3 kidneys as well but only 2 ureters. I wonder if this has happened to siblings before since it's suppose to be pretty rare. Neither one of us had problems other than the UTI's and bladder infections that we had as children. We both had minor surgeries and no problems since.

im 16 and i have 3 kidneys too. i have had a handful of problems and i had to have my 3rd kidney closed because it was causing my other kidneys to fail. They couldnt remove it because it was wrapped around the other kidneys. I have had so many infections and it sucks.

Somebody please help me my 11 year old daughter has complained of lower abdomen pain and low back pain for over a year. I constantly took her to the pediatrician and everytime they would tell me there was nothing wrong she was probably going to start her cycle. My daughter started wetting herself and didn't feel it and she always would have to go to the bathroom although alot of times she never actually went. Finally they ordered an ultrasound with urinalysis. Ultrasound showed 2 Right kidneys, 2 right Ureters and one of the right kidneys is about 4.5 cm larger than the left although her urinalysis always comes back fine she hurts from her kidney all the way down Went to a pediatric urologist out of Children's Hospital and after traveling for an hour and a half and waiting for 2 hours he walks in tells us he saw several other kids with my daughters problem that morning and he don't think it is her kidneys. She started to cry when the doctor walked out because she said he just didn't understand how she felt she wanted to know why she was hurting he just walked out the door and said we could go ahead and leave. I went to wake her up for school today and she started crying she was all wet she peed to bed and didn't even feel it. Her side is a little swollen and these if you want to say doctors are all in the same medical group and will not have another associate see her because they claim it is unethical to do it. In the mean time my daughter cannot even carry her own bookbag because of the strain on her and any activities like sports or just rough housing she ends up in bed with terrible pains. Can someone please point me in some kind of direction? I don't know what to do.

My grandma has 3 kidneys and she's like 76 or thereabouts and never knew it till today. She's gonna undergo some surgery tomorrow and found out that she had 3 in the pre-op tests.. She's been as fit as a fiddle all her life. So I doubt that having 3 is dangerous in any way.
