Hello
I have have got 3 kidneys with 3 separate urethra's to the bladder. The 3rd kidney is joined to my right one and is a full size fully developed kidney.
I my opinion i would only consider removing it if it started causing problems! I pee normally and dont have abnormal urinatery fuctions.
Cheers

My mother, myself and another one of our relatives all have three kidneys. I have only ever noticed having to use the bathroom more often and drinking more water (helps with preventing infections) to flush out your kidneys. I used to have issues when I was younger with UTIs, but haven't for years. This makes me think it isn't as rare as all the doctors think, but if people aren't having issues, they would never have it checked out.

I was born with three kidneys, I did not find out till I was on my death bed with ecoli infection from head to toe. I ended up being put on special medication to help control the flap that leads to my bladder. I was to get a surgery to fix it, since I constantly got uti and kidney infections. My father didn't allow the surgery, so I was told when I get my next one, I will need to have surgery. Currently, I am pregnant and have had a uti constantly. With in the next year I will be needing the surgery because of it. I had the best possible doctors out there, and if You want to talk to a doctor that knows what he is talking about I say Mayo Clinic all the way. That's where I have to go every year for testing to make sure they are still working and doing everything the way they should. Good luck in all that you do. I'm only 19, and have known since I was 6 years old about this.

I too was born with 3 kidneys. I also have 4 ureters. I was very sick my entire childhood and was finally big enough and stable enough to have ureter re-implantation surgery when I was 6. I was told that I would never carry a child to full term when i was 6-years-old. After a few miscarriages I have a perfect son. I almost died of kidney failure during pregnancy. I had stints implanted into my ureters during pregnancy which sent me into very preterm pregnancy.
My experiences, both as a child and pregnant adult, have been written up in medical journals. My pregnancy and delivery were so traumatic that I had 12 specialist doctors and nurses in the delivery room when my beautiful son was born. I have been on death's doorstep many times, yet I am still here kicking. I would not wish my experiences on anyone. However, I would not give up my joy for anything.
Due to reasons unknown to me, I have never looked for anyone else who has been in my situation until tonight. I don't know why I chose tonight, but I did.
I just found this board. After reading your posts, I felt I had to share my story.
For those of you who are suffering, please find a nephrologist/urologist. I recommend finding one that is retired military, old enough to be a Vietnam vet. This may sound strange, but they have seen everything. For those with suffering children out there, please, please advocate for your children as no one else will. Do not accept no for an answer. Go to ***edited by moderator*** web addresses not allowed, google it, do whatever it takes to research the condition and treatments.

I also have 3 kidneys. Have known for 20 years. I have no health problems other than kidney stones on both sides. I have them remove every two years or so. I was told all three are fontionning. I guess it is not as rare as we were told. Have decided to ask my specialist if I can donate one during my next follow up.

I found that I have three kidneys when I was 8 years old along with my first stone. I am 50 now and have 12 stones up to this point. I have not been able to pass ANY of them as they get stuck where the two ureter join just before the bladder. This blocks the flow from kidney to bladder. That is no fun at all. Then they blast the stone with an ultrasonic sound wave that breaks the stone into smaller pieces. THAT allows them to continue on their way down the ureter making me appreciate the advances in pharmaceuticals over the last 40 years. There have been a few that they had to go get. Thats right, I said "Go get". By the way, they don't cut you open to go get them. I won't bore you with the details but, it looks like a garden hose with a rifle scope on the end of it. Did I mention I have had 12 so far? I resently had an X ray of my back and the doctor called me a few days later to tell me that I had 5 large stones and what look like 3 kidneys. I told him that I knew about the kidney but now I have MORE stones to look forward to. I love fenegrin.

If anyone has three healthy kidneys then why not consider donating one of them to someone on dialyis who will eventually die if they do not get a kidney transplant.

I just found out today that I have 3 kidneys. I have had multiple UTIs and Kidney infections all of my life. When I was 7 I got a kidney infection so bad that I got a secondary infection in the left side of my brain. This caused seizure and coma in hospital for a week with 107 fever. I broke my fever and came out of my coma. I wonder if all of this was caused by the 3rd kidney!
