My 1 1/2 yr old was diagnosed with a lumbar hemivertebra which they have since been checking to see if it caused a problem with his kidneys. The orthopedic specialist said he has mild hydronephrosis, poor cortical definition and a degree of bilateral renal cortical atrophy. I can find information on the hydrosphrosis, but I'm having trouble finding info on the bilateral renal cortical atrophy. We are suppose to have a referral and visit to a pediatric urologist within a week or so, because our doctor is concerned, but if anyone has any helpfull information about what questions we should ask at the appointment, I would greatly appreciate it. My husband and I like to be prepared for what is ahead and try to ask the important questions when we are at the doctor rather than later.
Thank you for your help!
