My sister had pain on left side of abdomen three days back. Doc prescribed ultrasound and x ray. Xray is normal and ultrasound is also normal but its underlined" right kidney not visualised". Doc said that either she has only one kidney or it is displaced. Can it happen dat she has only one kidney? Her age is 21 years and she never had any past records of such problem. please help.

Yes it's highly possible. Or it may be misplaced during her fetal stage. There is technetium dye scan to confirm that. That can be done to confirm the presence of only kidney.
