Study Notes
Importance of Renal Anomalies
- May indicate abnormal renal development or function, leading to chronic kidney disease.
- Can predispose individuals to urinary tract infections.
- Might cause urinary obstruction, potentially requiring surgical intervention.
- May be linked with non-renal congenital anomalies.
Multicystic Dysplastic Kidney (MCDK)
- Results from the failure of the ureteric bud to unite with nephrogenic mesenchyme, leading to cyst formation.
- In cases of multicystic dysplastic kidney, normal renal function may not be present, affecting both kidneys.
Renal Dysplasia
- Can occur with severe intrauterine vesicoureteric reflux (VUR) or in isolation.
- May also be associated with rare syndromes that impact multiple organ systems.
- Urinary obstruction may be suspected via ultrasound, particularly indicated by an abnormal bladder in males; follow-up with micturating cystourethrogram (MCUG) is recommended.
Functional Imaging
- Functional scans are essential in evaluating renal function and diagnosing urinary tract obstructions.
