Overview
Renal agenesis is the absence of one (unilateral) or both (bilateral) kidneys at birth. Renal agenesis is a medical condition in which one (unilateral) or both (bilateral) fetal kidneys fail to develop.
It can be associated with RET or UPK3A.[1]
Epidemiology and Demographics
The general incidence of unilateral renal agenesis (URA) has been reported to be approximately 1 in 2031 individuals. The incidence of bilateral renal agenesis (BRA) is approximately 1 in every 3000 pregnancies. Males are more commonly affected by unilateral renal agenesis (URA) than females. The mortality rate of bilateral renal agenesis (BRA) without prenatal therapy is 100%.
