West Bengal minor girl found with 3 kidneys
According to reports, Nilima Pratihar, a minor girl from West Medinipur's Lalgarh area, had been complaining of severe ache in her right abdomen for last few months.
Her parents, Arun and Bishnupriya Pratihar, recently took the girl to Jhargram Super Speciality Hospital recently where this disorder was diagnosed.
According to Pranatha Tudu, a doctor of the hospital, the 11-year-old has three kidneys- one in left abdomen like others and two in the right side.
"The patient has three kidneys since her birth and all these are functioning normally." Tudu told IBNS. "Though it's a rare disorder, but there is nothing to worry."
"Following an USG and CT scan of her abdomen, we confirmed the presence of three kidneys, which is medically called super numeric kidney," the physician added.
However, doctors said that the girl can donate one of her kidneys in future if she wants.
