Congenital Renal Dx Flashcards
What is a sequence
Group of related to congenital anomalies in newborn which may be explained by single localized abnormality in organogenesis
What is a syndrome
Group of congenital anomalies in newborn which cannot be explained by single initiating abnormality in organogenesis
What is potter sequence
Phenotype of abnormalities caused by bilateral renal agenesis
Pathogenesis of potter sequence
Fatal compression restricting fetal growth due to oligohydramnios
What are some causes of oligohydramnios
Chronic amniotic fluid leakage from ruptured amnion
Utero placental insufficiency from maternal hypertension or toxemia
Fetal bilateral renal agenesis
Severe Renal dysplasia
Urinary tract obstruction
Clinical presentation of potter sequence
V-shaped epicanthic folds Large low nasal bridge Parrot beak nose Receding chin Bowing of the legs with clubbed feet broad spadE like hands Pulmonary hypoplasia Abundant loose skin Growth retardation and amnion nodosum
POTTER mnemonic to recognize a case
Pulmonary hypoplasia Oligohydramnio Twisted skin Twisted face Extremity deformities Renal agenesis
Prognosis of potter sequence
Deaths in life born in fence due to generally respiratory difficulty from Hypoplastic lungs
What is bilateral agenesis of kidneys
Complete failure of both kidney to develop with total absence of Renal structures
Is bilateral agenesis compatible with life
No
Do you see Potter sequence in infants with absent kidneys
Yes
What is unilateral agenesis
One kidney failed to develop
Is unilateral agenesis compatible with life
Yes it is.
What happens to contralateral Kidney in unilateral agenesis
Compensatory hypertrophy and progressive glomerulosclerosis which can lead to chronic renal failure
What is Renal hypoplasia
Kidneys develop fail to reach a normal size
Is it more common to have unilateral or bilateral renal hypoplasia
Unilatera
What main difference would you see between Renal hypoplasia and acquired Atrophic kidneys
scars in acquired
What is renal ectopia
When the kidney is displaced during its cephalic journey
What is simple ectopia
Kidney stay on correct side but he’s at the level of pelvic brim or within pelvis
What is crossed ectopia
Kidney crisis midline and remain in pelvic brim or fuse with opposite kidney
Is renal ectopia associated with malformations
Yes
What is a Renal fusion
Fusion of lateralized kidneys resulting in the horseshoe kidney
90% cases of fusion of kidneys are at lower poles or upper Poles
Lower poles
When do you have a donut kidney
When both poles fuse
Is the renal fusion common
Yes 1/400
What are some associated anomalies with fusion of kidneys
Duplications
cryptorchidism
Urethral abnormalit
What is a cake or disc kidney and when do you see it
In the case of combined Renal ectopia and fusion Where kidney are fused into one mass
What are some cystic renal disease
Renal dysplasia multicystic kidney dysplasia adult polycystic kidney disease childhood polycystic kidney disease medullary sponge kidney nephronophthysis Uremic medullary cystic disease simple cysts dialysis associated cystic disease
