What is an ectopic kidney? An ectopic kidney is a birth defect in which a kidney is located in an abnormal position. In most cases, people with an ectopic kidney have no complaints. In other cases, the ectopic kidney may create urinary problems, such as urine blockage, infection, or urinary stones. Researchers estimate that ectopic kidney occurs once in every 1,000 births. What are the kidneys? Kidneys are bean-shaped organs, each about the size of your fist. Most people have two kidneys located near the middle of the back, just below the rib cage. The kidneys filter wastes and extra fluid from your blood. The wastes and extra fluid become urine, which drains from the kidneys to the bladder through tubes called ureters.
