F: There is an additional ureter and renal pelvis at both sides.

INFO/WWW-LINKS: Various ongenital malformations of the kidney and the ureter are e.g. duplication of the upper urinary tract. Duplication of the ureters is common but a supernumerary kidney is uncommon. Incomplete division of the metanephric diverticulum results in formations of bifid ureters and/or renal pelvis.

D: Duplications of the upper urinary tract with bifid ureter and renal pelvis at both sides.
