which structure forms the renal collecting sys
ureteric buds from the wolffian ducts
which structure forms the nephrons (glomeruli and loop of henle)
metanephros
when does urine production start
what produced amniotic fluid before this
11 wks
membranes and lungs
where in the body are the primitive kidneys located
what happens if they fail to migrate
pelvis
ectopic kidney
name for the primitive kidneys
metanephros
in which plane do we image kidneys
TRX, only SAG if there’s pathology
norm kidney length
equal to gestational age in mm
upper limit of norm for renal pelvis dilation
20 wks and 20 + wks
5mm up to 20 wks
8mm from 20 wks- term
2 segments of the cloaca
cloaca is the terminal end of the hindgut….
segments:
urinary and rectal

when do the genitals form
8-10 wks. (prior to 8 wks they are ambiguous)
male genitals develop w/ testosterone present, w/o, female genitals develop due to maternal estrogen
bilateral renal genesis is associated w/ which other anomalies
risk factors for bilateral renal agenesis
GU, GI and cardiac abnormalities
sirenomelia syndrome
teratogens - warfarin, cocaine, maternal diabetes type 1
US appearance of unilateral renal agenesis
kidney thats present may be enlarged since its doing all the work… fetus may be asymp
US appearance of bilateral renal agenesis
absent bladder
oligohydramnios or anhydramnios

describe potters syndrome
a sequence that refers to the consequence of severe oligohydramnios due to bilateral renal agenesis
describe the phenotype of potters syndrome
pulmonary hypoplasia
abnormal hand and foot positions
facial anomalies
IUGR
describe hydronephrosis
distention of the renal pelvis and calyces w/ urine due to obstruction
usually unilateral
accounts for most renal abnormalities and sometimes associated w/ other syndromes
causes of hydro
obstruction
reflux
ureterocele
which part of the urinary sys will be dilated w/ obstruction at the UPJ
kidneys/renal pelvis
