Kidneys Fail, Girl Survives With Spare Parts
But when she was 5, doctors attempted surgery and discovered the little girl had two complete drainage systems — one piggy-backed on top of the other in each kidney.
When one set of ureters failed, the second set kicked in, restoring her health and perhaps saving her life.
Angel has duplex or double kidneys, two functioning units within the same kidney.
“I was surprised we had one (a duplex) in Angel because none of the previous x-rays had shown that,” said Dr. Prasad Godbole, consultant pediatric urologist at Sheffield Children’s Hospital, who operated on the little girl.
“Sometimes you could miss it but I was surprised because looking at all the previous x-rays there was no suggestion of this,” he said. “Her kidneys are working fine.”
Today, Angel is 8 and in excellent health.
“It’s a real miracle,” her mother, Claire Burton, told the Cavendish Press in Manchester. “It’s absolutely amazing that none of her earlier scans picked [it] up. We’re just so grateful to have Angel back to her happy, healthy self.”
This genetic abnormality occurs in about 1 in 100 children, according to a statement from Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation, the hospital where she had her surgery in 2007.
