what happens if a kidney has 2 tubes?

my stupid doc never explains things in detail. he told me my x ray show i have 2 tubes and i should only have one and than i said why he said u know what lets do a MRI rather than x ray cause they could be the shadow.

The duplicated ureter is a condition that affects about 1 in every 10 people. Most people go through their entire lives without ever knowing.

Having two tubes does not necessarily mean something is wrong, and if you’ve lived all this time without being aware of it, then it would indicate that yours isn’t an issue. The most frequent complaints for this condition is a heightened risk of urinary tract infections.

Unless you’re experiencing problems with your kidney, there really is nothing you need to do … this is one of those medical phenomenons that’s simply interesting to know about, but not important enough to worry about.
