Symptom #8: Kidney Abnormalities
Girls with Turner syndrome may have kidney abnormalities. Estimates have shown that about one-third of those affected with Turner syndrome have a malformation of the kidneys, although in most of the cases these abnormalities don’t initially cause any serious medical problems. Possible kidney abnormalities include a horseshoe kidney, duplex collecting systems, and crossed ectopic.
Kidney abnormalities will eventually lead to a higher risk for high blood pressure as well as urinary tract infections.
