Kidney dysplasia

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Classification according to ICD-10
Q61.4 Kidney dysplasia
ICD-10 online (WHO version 2019)

The renal dysplasia is a congenital frühembyronale developmental disorder ( malformation ) of one or both kidneys . The disease is characterized by poor kidney tissue development with abnormal kidney architecture.

If the development is maximally disturbed and no kidney is detectable, one speaks of renal agenesis or renal aplasia, if only a size reduction with normal tissue structure is present, it is a renal hypoplasia .

Synonyms are kidney dysgenesis; Renal dysplasia, English renal dysplasia

distribution

The incidence is estimated at 1 in 2,300 births, 1 in 2,400 in adults and 1 in 93 in infants. Combination with other malformations of the urinary tract is found in 57% of the sections.

root cause

A possible cause is a disturbance in the formation of the ureteral bud and the metanephrogenic tissue and / or a urinary stagnation that has already started intrauterine .

pathology

The pathological examination reveals immature glomeruli and epithelial- lined tubules with surrounding rings of connective tissue and smooth muscle cells, often also metaplastic cartilage.

In the context of syndromes

With some syndromes :

Classification

A distinction must be formally following forms:

  • Bilateral kidney dysplasia
  • Unilateral kidney dysplasia
  • Segmental dysplasia limited to individual sections of a kidney

According to comorbidities can be divided into:

  • Renal dysplasia with normal ostium
  • Renal dysplasia with a lateralized ostium
  • Renal dysplasia with subvesical obstruction (located below the urinary bladder)
  • Renal dysplasia in prune belly syndrome

The following classification is used clinically :

Clinical manifestations

Clinical criteria are: In the case of severely impaired kidney function with oligohydramnios , the Potter sequence can occur. If the kidney function is sufficiently preserved, kidney dysplasia is usually symptom-free and is diagnosed either intrauterine or later during a routine check-up, e. B. discovered in a urinary tract infection .

diagnosis

The diagnosis is based on ultrasound imaging with evidence of cysts or an increased echogenic kidney and reduced delimitation of the internal structures. A confirmation can be made biopsy .

Differential diagnosis

Renal hypoplasia and post-inflammatory or post-infectious damage to the kidneys must be differentiated .
