Q

Unilateral Agenesis of a kidney is compatible with life if no other issues are present. How will that one kidney that is present likely look and what may develop in it?

It will be enlarged due to adaptation

– glomerular sclerosis may form

Q

Renal hypoplasia is usually ____

A

Unilateral

17
Q

What is a horseshoe kidney and where does it lie compared to the great vessels?

A

Fusion of the upper or lower poles of the kidneys

– anterior to great vessels

18
Q

Are ectopic kidneys possible?

A

Yes

19
Q

Congenital anomalies of the ureters are only clinically significant if they cause?

A

Obstruction of urine flow

20
Q

Describe the grades of the vesicoureteral reflux

A
1 - into ureter
2 - into pelvis and calyces
3 - mild dilation
4 - dilation and ureteral tortuosity
5 - dilation, ureteral tortuosity, loss of papillary impressions
21
Q

Leaky valve allows urine to flow in both directions suggests?

A

Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR)

22
Q

What can Vesicoureteral Reflux cause?

A

Pyelonephritis

Loss of renal function

23
Q

Abnormal branching of the ureteric bud will cause?

A

Double/bifed ureters

24
Q

What is the most common cause of hydronephrosis (swelling) of the kidney?

A

Ureteropelvic junction obstruction

25
Q

In early life, males are more often affected with a Ureteropelvic Junction obstruction. What are the symptoms?

A
Hydronephrosis
UTI
Hematuria
Sepsis
Azotemia
26
Q

In adult life, women are more commonly affected with a Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction. What are the symptoms?

A

UTI
Hematuria
Abdominal pain and vomiting

27
Q

What causes Ureteropelvic Junction Obstructions?

A

Abnormal smooth muscle bundles or excess collagen deposition

28
Q

Hydronephrosis, UTI, hematuria in a young male suggests?

A

Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction

29
Q

Where are the 3 normal constrictions of the ureter?

A
  1. Ureteropelvic junction
  2. Crossing external iliac A.
  3. As ureter traverses bladder wall
30
Q

Pouch-like invaginations that are usually in the bladder wall, small and asymptomatic

A

Diverticula

31
Q

What what predisposes Diverticula to be symptomatic and what can result?

A

Urinary stasis predisposes to infection, calculi and advanced carcinoma

32
Q

If a bladder diverticula is congenital, what likely caused it?

A

Failure of musculature development or tract obstruction in development

33
Q

Exstrophy of bladder

A

Bladder develops outside the body due to abdominal wall failure

34
Q

What is the bladder susceptible to if exstrophy of the bladder occurred?

A

Chronic infection

Colonic glandular metaplasia

35
Q

Malformation of the urethral groove causes?

A

Abnormal opening on the penis
