It is a situation where kidney isn't at its normal position. But you need not to worry.

Ectopic means at other place than normal. So your son's right kidney us not at normal position, it is at another area. Most of the times, nothing is needed to do for it. But it is important to consult an urologist with all the reports.

ectopic kidneys are commonly seen among many patients. it means the kidney is not at its normal position. it must be somewhere lower than its normal position. don't worry nothing has to be done unless it shows any swelling or stone.
