Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Before birth the uterus and kidneys are formed from the same group of cells in early stages. The two uterus is dues to duplication of some cells in embryonic stage. It is to be known what type of kidney problems she is facing and if there is duplication or any structural abnormalities. If such a condition exists then probably the uterus and kidney abnormalities are related by origin but not by function. Having the duplication of uterus can cause problems in fertility and pregnancy but not related to hypertension. Should there be any kidney associated hypertension then doing a kidney Doppler is important. This will show any renal artery stenosis which can be the reason of high blood pressure in a young adult like your daughter.
