**Pediatric Nephrologist’s Perspective:**
Children born with a single functioning kidney—either due to congenital absence (renal agenesis) or non-functioning kidney (like in MCDK)—can lead healthy lives with proper monitoring. As a pediatric nephrologist, we focus on early diagnosis, blood pressure monitoring, urine tests for protein, and periodic ultrasound to assess kidney health. While most children thrive with one kidney, long-term follow-up is crucial to prevent complications like high blood pressure or proteinuria. Awareness and timely care ensure they grow up healthy and strong.
