Lobulated, fused and horseshoe kidney is a congenital abnormality that occurs when the two kidneys fail to separate during the early stages of fetal development, resulting in the two kidneys fusing together and forming one kidney with two lobes. in some cases, the fused kidney may form a horseshoe shape due to the kidneys being located lower than normal.
