renal agenesis is

A

missing kidney
can be unilateral or bilateral

22
Q

unilateral renal agenesis symptoms

A

asymptomatic

23
Q

bilateral renal agenesis symptoms

A

lethal
oligohydraminos
Potter’s syndrome

24
Q

Potter’s syndrome features

A

deformed limbs
dry wrinkly skin
facies
pulmonary hypoplasia (cause of death)

25
Q

renal hypoplasia

A

small kidneys without dysplasia

26
Q

renal dysplasia

A

Disorganization of renal parenchyma with abnormal nephrons

27
Q

Pax2 mutations

A

can be with renal hypoplasia, renal dysplasia, and renal-coloboma syndrome

28
Q

polycystic kidney disease (AD)

A

adult onset with hypertension later in life

29
Q

polycystic kidney disease (AR)

A

Generally lethal (no urine production; no drainage into bladder)
Fibrocystin/Polyductin

30
Q

consequence of polycystic kidney disease

A

bleeding
hypertension
urolithiasis
pain

31
Q

metanephric movement

A

sacral to lumbar region and rotation of the renal pelvis from the anterior to medial side

32
Q

renal artery location change

A

off of common iliac
regress than new one higher off aorta
regress then new ones even higher off aorta

33
Q

accessory renal arteries forms when

A

when one of the previous renal arteries does not regress

34
Q

pelvic kidney

A

more common in females

35
Q

horseshoe kidney

A

lower attached kidneys
ascent is restricted by the inferior mesenteric artery

36
Q

thoracic kidneys

A

more common in males and on left side
delayed closure of diaphragm- commonly on asymptomatic

37
Q

crossed renal ectopia

A

both kidneys on same side
asymptomatic

38
Q

mesonephric ducts fuse with the

A

bladder and move down to the neck of the bladder

39
Q

ureteric buds fuse with what and this process is called what

A

fuse with bladder and called exstrophy

40
Q

trigone (smooth posterior portion of bladder) is derived from

A

mesonephric duct (intermediate mesoderm)

41
Q

most of bladder is derived from

A

endoderm

42
Q

uretero-pelvic duplications can be what and what is it caused by

A

caused by: premature branching of ureteric bud
can be: duplicate kidney, renal pelvis or ureter

43
Q

weigert-meyer rule

A

orthotropic ureter and cranial ureters must cross when 2 ureters are present

44
Q

allantois is attached to bladder and can cause

A

fluid filled cyst (urachal) or fistula from bladder to umbilicus

45
Q

exstrophy of bladder

A

Failure of the anterior abdominal wall and the anterior wall of the bladder to develop properly

46
Q

exstrophy of bladder in females is associated with

A

bifid clitoris

47
Q

exstrophy of bladder in males is associated with

A

epispadias

48
Q

exstrophy of cloaca

A

urinary bladder and handgun exposed to environment
Failure of the anterior abdominal wall to develop properly, bladder to close, and cloaca fails to partition
