醫(yī)生們在用CT掃描這位38歲男子的椎間盤突出癥時，發(fā)現了這個不尋常的發(fā)現。

They found his kidneys worked normally, a report published in the New England Journal of Medicine said.

《新英格蘭醫(yī)學雜志》發(fā)表的一份報告說，他們發(fā)現他的腎臟工作正常。

"The scan incidentally showed the presence of three kidneys: a normal-appearing left kidney and two fused kidneys in the pelvis," the report said.

報告說:“掃描結果偶然顯示了三個腎臟:一個正常的左腎和兩個融合的腎盂。”
