Reply to "Migrating kidney"

I just decided to check this out on the internet and found out that it is more common than I thought...what I read has me a bit freaked out...aparently there are a basketful of other congenital deformities that come with the Migrating kidney...and I have at least 4 or them! Scoliosis, hemivertebreae, bicornuate uterus, hypoplasia plus all of my other problems...I wonder if this is all part of one big thing that no one has ever bothered to diagnosis???

From the pediatric Urology site:
"The contralateral kidney is abnormal in as many as 50% of patients . Contralateral renal agenesis occurs in 10%. Additional malformations of the cardiovascular, respiratory, genital or skeletal systems are common , . Skeletal anomalies are most commonly scoliosis and hemivertebrae. Genital malformations in females including duplication of the vagina, bicornuate uterus and hypoplasia or agenesis of the uterus or vagina may cause problems during menstruation, conception, and pregnancy. The most common genital anomalies in males are hypospadias and cryptorchidism."
