Q

What is the most common cause of kidney agenesis

A

Failure of uteric bud to meet mesenchyme

17
Q

Kidney agenesis

A

Failure of 1/both kidneys to form

18
Q

What type of kidney agenesis is asymptomatic

A

Unilateral

19
Q

Oligohydramnios

A

Reduction in amniotic fluid

20
Q

Why does bilateral renal agenesis lead to oligohydramnios

A

Kidneys involved in generation of amniotic fluid

21
Q

How does bilateral kidney agenesis lead to failure of lung development

A

Decreased amniotic fluid

22
Q

Bifid ureter

A

Ureter splits in 2

23
Q

What can a bifold ureter lead to

A

Duplicate kidneys
Duplicate ureter

24
Q

Ectopic pelvic kidney

A

Kidney remains in pelvic region

25
Q

Pancake kidney

A

Both poles of kidneys fuse creating 1 very large kidney in pelvic region with normal function

26
Q

Pancake kidney symptoms

A

Asymptomatic

27
Q

Horseshoe kidney

A

Kidneys fuse at 1 pole in pelvic region forming a single u shaped kidney

28
Q

Why can horseshoe kidneys not ascend

A

Blocked by inferior mesenteric artery

29
Q

Polycystic kidney

A

Kidney develop fluid filled cysts

30
Q

What causes polycystic kidneys

A

Defects in formation of tubules of nephron

31
Q

What mutation is the majority of polycystic kidney disease cases associated with

32
Q

How does a kidney cyst form

A

Dilation of tubule -> proliferation of cyst epithelium -> cyst epithelium becomes secretory -> fluid secretion into cyst lumen -> cyst enlarged and loses contact with nephron
