Bilateral Renal Dysplasia
Bilateral Renal Dysgenesis

Presentation

Most of the patients were adults, and the most common clinical presentation in them was loin pain. The younger patients presented with occasional loin pain, pyrexia and hematuria. [cags.org.ae]

[…] the kidney caused by abnormal metanephric differentiation, occurring by week 20 in utero Enlarged, cystic kidneys with disorganized parenchyma and numerous cysts Immature tubules surrounded by mesenchymal collars and islands of immature mesenchyme are present [pathologyoutlines.com]

The major clinical presentations are marked protruberances and abdominal cysts. [bmcurol.biomedcentral.com]

If obstruction is present, reconstruction is needed. Malrotation is usually of little clinical significance. Ultrasonography often shows hydronephrosis. [msdmanuals.com]

[…] in an individual with two or more affected family members, or three features are present in an individual with no affected family members. [rarediseases.org]

Treatment

Usually, the cysts are harmless and do not need treatment. If they do cause complications, treatments include medicines, draining the cysts, or surgery. [icdlist.com]

Treatments for CKD There's no cure for CKD, but treatment can help relieve the symptoms and stop it getting worse. Your treatment will depend on how severe your kidney disease is. [nhs.uk]

Dialysis is a treatment that filters and purifies the blood using a machine. This helps keep your body in balance when the kidneys can’t do their job. Factors such as lung development and overall health determine the success of this treatment. [healthline.com]

Treatment In most cases, there is no treatment needed before birth. Options Very rarely, there is concern that the problems with the baby’s kidneys and/or lungs are very severe, and may mean that he or she will not be able to live a normal life. [infokid.org.uk]

Compared with congenital megaureter, the treatment of CGM is specific. [bmcurol.biomedcentral.com]

Prognosis

Due to the poor prognosis we opted for euthanasia. At necropsy was observed enlarged and distended bladder, reduced kidneys and dilated and tortuous ureters. [uel.br]

Therefore, the clinical features and long-term prognosis of eight patients with bilateral renal dysplasia have been evaluated. [karger.com]

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

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]

In severe cases MCDK can lead to neonatal fatality (in bilateral cases), however in unilateral cases the prognosis might be better (it would be dependent on associated anomalies). [11] [12] Epidemiology [ edit ] In regard to the epidemiology of multicystic [en.wikipedia.org]

[…] by week 20 in utero Enlarged, cystic kidneys with disorganized parenchyma and numerous cysts Immature tubules surrounded by mesenchymal collars and islands of immature mesenchyme are present between the cysts Also known as multicystic renal dysplasia Epidemiology [pathologyoutlines.com]

Summary Epidemiology The prevalence and incidence of bilateral MCDK are unknown. Clinical description Bilateral MCDK may be suspected antenatally at routine ultrasound scans, with the majority detected around the 20th week of gestation. [orpha.net]

Epidemiology Multicystic renal dysplasia is the most common abdominal tumor in the neonatal period and the most common cystic lesion of the kidney in childhood. Incidence 1 of 4300 live birth. [urology-textbook.com]

If the mother had been taking certain prescription drugs such as those for hypertension, this may be a precipitating factor as well. [8] Ultrasound Scan -Vesicoureteral reflux Pathophysiology [ edit ] The mechanism of multicystic dysplastic kidney is [en.wikipedia.org]

Pathophysiology A brief overview of nephrogenesis is provided to highlight the developmental defects that lead to multicystic dysplastic kidney. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Prevention

How can kidney dysplasia be prevented? Researchers have not found a way to prevent kidney dysplasia caused by genetic factors or certain genetic syndromes. [niddk.nih.gov]

There is no way to prevent multicystic dysplastic kidney from occurring early in a baby's development, and there is no known way to prevent it from happening. [nationwidechildrens.org]

For this reason, early identification of these malformations is essential in order to prevent renal damage. [amboss.com]

Treatment is focused on preventing progression to stage 5, end-stage renal disease. [clinicaladvisor.com]

[…] cysts develop in the kidneys blockages in the flow of urine – for example, from recurrent kidney stones or an enlarged prostate long-term, regular use of certain medicines – such as lithium and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) You can help prevent [nhs.uk]
