Nephroquest Associate posted April 08, 2005 04:14 AM I recently gave birth to a male baby who has only a right kidney. The left one cannot be seen although during the 8th month of gestation a scan showed that he had a small hypoplastic kidney. What are the normal rates for creatinin and urea levels in neonates? (3 weeks ) What should we do to discover if he actually has a second kidney, and what if he doesn;t have one at all? IP: Logged All times are CT (US) next newest topic next oldest topic

CASE HISTORY A man of 45 with moderate obesity came for routine vasectomy under local anaesthesia after an initial outpatient consultation at which no physical examination had been performed. The right vas was successfully ligated; the surgeon then explored the other side but had to abandon the operation because of persistent patient discomfort and inability to find the vas. At a second operation

Extractions: Renal Urologic Anomalies Presenting In Adult Identical Twins Case 2: A 43 year old woman presented to her primary care physician complaining of back pain. An IVP was performed, demonstrating a normal left kidney and absence of the right kidney (Figure 3). There was no past history of urologic disease or surgery. When informed of the result, the woman stated that she had not been previously aware that she only had one kidney, and wondered whether her identical twin sister might be similarly affected. One week later, the twin sister was evaluated with an IVP, demonstrating unilateral absence of the right kidney, and a solitary left kidney almost identical in appearance to that of her sibling (figure 4). Figure 1 Excretory phase of intravenous "one shot" pyelography demonstrating appearance of obstructed renal pelvis. Note intrauterine fetal bony elements representing third trimester pregnancy. Figure 2 Excretory phase of intravenous pyelography demonstrating obstruction at the ureteropelvic junction. This patient is the identical twin of the patient shown in Figure 1.

True renal agenesis is defined as the complete congenital absence of renal tissue, in contrast to acquired absence of renal tissue due to atrophy. Atrophy of sufficient degree to mimic agenesis may occur in conditions such as multicystic dysplastic kidney and ureteropelvic junction obstruction. True agenesis may be the result of failure of formation of the ureteric bud (in which case cystoscopy will reveal a hemitrigone) or due to maldevelopment of the metanephric blastema (in which case partial development of the ureter may be present). Renal agenesis occurs in 1 in 1000 to 5000 births. The male : female ratio is 1.8:1. The condition is slightly commoner on the left side. A familial tendency has been noted. The diagnosis may be suggested on plain radiographs, when the renal outline is absent and the colon is seen to occupy the renal fossa on the affected side. However, the condition is usually detected as an incidental finding on ultrasound, when no kidney can be demonstrated on one side. Intravenous urography, CT ( Fig.1

Bilateral renal agenesis is not compatible with life. The diagnosis is often made antenatally either at routine second trimester ultrasound when reduction or complete absence of liquor will be demonstrated. The kidneys are not seen and enlarged adrenal glands fill the renal fossae. In later pregnancy failure of enlargement of the uterus appropriate for the gestational age, and oligohydramnios are the usual ultrasound findings of the condition. Babies born with this condition usually have typical Potter facies (see Potters syndrome Unilateral renal agenesis is usually asymptomatic the absence of one kidney being diagnosed incidentally. Some cases of unilateral renal agenesis are diagnosed in the antenatal period on routine midtrimester scanning when no kidney is demonstrated on one side of the abdomen. Care must be taken to check all possible sites for the apparently absent kidney including the pelvis and to consider the possibility of a thoracic kidney or crossed fused ectopia. The contralateral kidney in situations of renal agenesis is usually hypertrophied but otherwise normal. Associated renal abnormalities are common. The diagnosis can be made by ultrasound in childhood. On the left the splenic flexure of the colon may fill the renal bed. Diagnosis can be confirmed by

Extractions: Meconium Peritonitis Calcifications are seen throughout the abdomen in this 17 week fetus with meconium peritonitis Meconium peritonitis in a fetus of 23 weeks gestational age. Numerous calcifications (arrows) are seen adjacent to the liver and anterior abdominal wall Meconium peritonitis in a fetus at 29 weeks gestation. Dilatation of the small bowel and dense calcification is seen within the abdomen Punctate and linear calcifications are seen throughout the abdomen in this second trimester pregnancy. The sonographic findings vary depending on several factors: the etiology, the time interval since perforation and the degree of inflammatory response. It may be seen as early as 13 weeks gestation. In the typical case, diffuse hyperechoic punctate echoes with or without acoustic shadowing may be seen in the abdominal cavity, on the hepatic surface and in the scrotal sac. In addition, depending upon the etiology, ascites, polyhydramnios or fetal bowel distention may be present. Polyhydramnios, reported in approximately 50% of patients, may be caused by by peristaltic deficiency associated with decreased swallowing activity. If the inflammatory response remains localized a meconium pseudocyst may occur. This appears sonographically as a cystic heterogeneous mass with an irregular, calcified wall. The prognosis depends upon the etiology. Bowel perforations may heal and the ascites and bowel dilatation may resolve, leaving only peritoneal calcifications as the only sonographic sign of meconium peritonitis. While cystic fibrosis is universally seen in cases of meconium ileus, it is seen in only 7-40% of cases of meconium peritonitis.
