I can’t seem to find any medical back up  to uphold the doctor’s suggestion 
to test our other two children for a  congenital single kidney. 
Thanks!


My son had a severe ureteral reflux. If I remember correctly, when I did my  
research, it said there was a genetic predisposition. I would do the 
ultrasound  just to check for structural issues--- i.e. potential size differences that 
 might suggest deformities, reflux, etc.
