Renal Agenesis and Hypoplastic Lung Syndrome Vol 2. No. 10 Ande L. Karimu MD PhD. Resident Ob-Gyn Yale New Haven Hospital Renal agenesis and hypoplastic lung syndrome are congenital malformations of the neonates involving the kidneys and the lungs respectively i.e. the newborns are born with these disorders. The etiology of these malformations is probably multifactorial i.e. there are both inherited and environmental factors in the causation of the malformations. Oftentime both conditions co-exist as part of multiple congenital malformations. Renal Agenesis Renal agenesis is the complete absence of the kidney(s). The kidneys are the organs that filter the blood of waste products, eliminating them as urine. There are two kidneys in the human under normal circumstances. Absence of the kidney could be unilateral or bilateral. If it is unilateral, it means only one kidney is absent. However, if it is bilateral, it means both kidneys are absent. Unilateral absence of the kidneys is compatible with life whereas bilateral absence of the kidneys is incompatible with life. Development of the Kidneys The kidneys are parts of the urinary system. Other members of the system include the ureters, bladder and the urethra. The urinary system develops in close association with the genital organs.

Renal Agenesis Search for... CAR home Anomalies Renal Oligohydramnios ... Polycystic kidney Renal agenesis INTRODUCTION Renal agenesis anomaly may affect one or both kidneys and has an unknown aetiology. Bilateral renal agenesis (BRA) occurs sporadically but there is some evidence that genetic factors are involved and it is important to screen both parents and siblings. BRA can also occur as part of syndromes such as VATER and branchio-oto-renal syndrome but it is more commonly an isolated finding. BRA occurs more frequently in males (2:1) and is incompatible with life. Unilateral renal agenesis (URA) is much more common than BRA and is associated with some ear and ureteral anomalies. Top of the page ANTENATAL Renal agenesis may not be immediately apparent on ultrasound, but the bladder is never seen and from 16 weeks gestation it becomes apparent that there is reduced, or no liquor around the fetus. Doppler studies can be used to distinguish BRA from severe intrauterine growth retardation.

Trends in Cholesterol Screening and Awareness of High Blood Cholesterol — United States, 1991–2003 Because high blood cholesterol (HBC) is a major risk factor for heart disease, the leading cause of death in the United States, public health agencies and their partners are working to reduce the prevalence of HBC through screening and by increasing public awareness of HBC and strategies for reducing it. This report examines trends in the percentage of adults screened for HBC and the percentage of those screened who were told they had the condition.

Questions in the Urology Forum have been answered by Dr. Kevin Pho, (who is board certified in Internal Medicine) and by urologists from Henry Ford Health System. Renal Agenesis Forum: The Urology Forum Topic: Kidney Subject: Renal Agenesis From To Post GI Joe I've just discovered (thru CT Scan) I have congenital unilateral renal agenesis (absent kidney). I'm a military member (U.S.)and generally in good health. Will this condition disqualify me from military service? Forum-M.D.-KYP GI Joe I do not work for the US miltary so I do not know what the conditions are for disqualification. However, I can give information about the prognosis of the disorder. Renal agenesis refers to congenital absence of the kidney and ureter, which may be either unilateral or bilateral. Unilateral renal agenesis has been noted in 1/1000 autopsies. The prognosis for patients with one normal kidney is excellent, with a survival rate similar to that of age and sex-matched controls from United States life tables. However, proteinuria (i.e. protein in the urine), hypertension, and renal insufficiency appear to be more common later in life. Most pediatric urologists recommend that children with a solitary kidney avoid contact sports, although the risk of kidney loss resulting from trauma is less than 1 percent. I am not sure if that last statement would be relevent in active duty. You may want to address this issue with your personal physician.

The c-ret gene encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase that is expressed in the Wolffian duct and ureteric bud of the developing excretory system. Newborn mice homozygous for a mutation in c-ret displayed renal agenesis or severe hypodysplasia, suggesting a critical role for this gene in metanephric kidney development. To investigate the embryological basis of these

It is a genetic disorder characterized by a failure of the kidneys to develop in a fetus. This absence of kidneys causes a deficiency of amniotic fluid (Oligohydramnios) in a pregnant woman. Normally, the amniotic fluid acts as a cushion for the developing fetus. When there is an insufficient amount of this fluid, compression of the fetus may occur resulting in further malformations of the baby.

Studies have proven that unilateral renal agenesis and bilateral renal agenesis are genetically related.
