Prognosis is highly unpredictable due to an inability to quantify residual functional parenchyma. Treatment is surgical correction of any associated GU abnormalities and, if renal insufficiency or renal failure is present, renal replacement therapy. [merckmanuals.com]

In almost half of the cases of unilateral MCDK, the contralateral kidney will have associated malformations, the severity of which determines the overall prognosis. [mhmedical.com]

The multicystic dysplastic kidney has an excellent long-term prognosis, and an affected patient will most likely have one normally functioning kidney for the remainder of their life. [nationwidechildrens.org]

Etiology The etiology is unclear, there are several theories leading to a multicystic dysplastic kidney: Fetal ureteral atresia Abnormal induction of the metanephritic blastema by the ureteral bud. [urology-textbook.com]

Etiology Clinical features Diagnostics Ultrasound imaging of the kidneys and bladder First-line imaging modality Detects anatomical abnormalities Renal ultrasound is warranted for all children with recurrent UTIs or UTI in children < 24 months of age. [amboss.com]

Etiology MCDK results from disrupted nephrogenesis but the exact pathogenic mechanism is still unknown. Disturbed formation of nephrons could result from impaired fetal urine flow early in development. [orpha.net]
