The mistake, that led to a healthy kidney being removed, was described by Our Lady's Children's Hospital in Crumlin, Dublin as an "unprecedented error".
The Dublin hospital said it had given its sincere apologies to the family.
The young child now faces regular dialysis unless a donor kidney can be found. An internal investigation is being carried out by the hospital.
The hospital described it as a "significant and regrettable medical error".
The child has been discharged from the hospital.
