<s>[INST] i am writing to ask a question about my kidneys condition. After a dignosis i had two days ago, i discovered that i have hourseshoe kidneys which was a strange thing for me. My question is : do this shape and position of my kidneys have an effect on pregnancy?? and does this conditin have side effects??? thanks [/INST] If your kidney functions are normal and no urine infections, there is nothing to worry.  Horseshoe kidneys themselves do not have any effect on pregnancy. However, some persons with horseshoe kidney have abnormalities in the Chat Doctor.  During pregnancy there is a tendency for urine to flow backwards from the bladder to the kidney. This can increase the chances of UTI.  No specific measures are required. Check your Blood Urea, Creatinine and Urine routine. Take adequate fluids. </s>
