Single kidney babies, as the name suggests, are babies born with only one kidney, which is mainly caused by fertilized eggs or chromosomal abnormalities. And normal babies usually have two kidneys, so is a single kidney baby considered a malformation?
Abnormal or missing organs are one of the pathological states of deformities. So, single kidney babies are considered malformed due to the lack of one kidney. More precisely, the organ structure of a single kidney baby is already formed in the mother's body, so single kidney babies belong to congenital malformations. But this deformity is not hereditary, so there is no need to be overly afraid.
Furthermore, although a single kidney baby only has one kidney, it will not have a significant impact on the baby's development and growth. The baby can still complete physiological needs and develop normally, but one kidney will bear a heavier burden. Therefore, although a single kidney baby is a congenital anomaly, it does not require excessive treatment unless the baby develops some special diseases due to a single kidney after growing up. In daily life, more attention should be paid to single kidney babies, such as paying attention to diet, not giving babies too much high protein food, and regularly checking for kidney abnormalities. If abnormalities occur, timely treatment should be sought.
In summary, although single kidney babies may have slight physical differences from ordinary people, we should not be biased against them because of this, but rather care for and nurture them.
