A

small risk of Wilms Tumor (most common renal malignancy in kids)

55
Q

Dx of horseshoe kidney

A

US, VCUG (if UTI), serum creatinine

normal Cr and no hydronephrosis: no further eval
Cr elevated or hydronephrosis: renal scan

56
Q

Management of horseshoe kidney

Q

Etiology of NE

A

genetic
bladder maturation
organic cause

59
