Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. I understand your concerns.
This report is showing policystic kidneys disorder on the right side and this kidney may have reduced function or even be unfunctional completely but left kidney is better condition and it may overtake whole necessary function. In future, your baby should be closely followed and it cant be predicted how long will his kidney work but in most cases there is no need for transplantation or dyalisis in childhood
I hope I have answered your query.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
