Overview
The majority of patients with horseshoe kidney are asymptomatic and incidentally detected during renal imaging.However the outcome depends on associated urologic problems.
Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis
Natural History
- The symptoms of (disease name) usually develop in the first/ second/ third decade of life, and start with symptoms such as ___.
- The symptoms of (disease name) typically develop ___ years after exposure to ___.
- If left untreated, [#]% of patients with [disease name] may progress to develop [manifestation 1], [manifestation 2], and [manifestation 3].
- The majority of patients with horseshoe kidney are asymptomatic and incidentally detected during renal imaging.However the outcome depends on associated urologic problems.
Complications
- Common complications of [disease name] include:
- Pelviureteric junction obstruction leading to hydronephrosis
- Vesicoureteric reflux
- Renal stones
- Urinary tract infection
- Increased risk of nephroblastoma and an approximately threefold to fourfold higher risk for cancer of the renal pelvis.[1]
- Increased risk for extrarenal disorders that has been associated with horseshoe kidney are gastrointestinal tract and vertebral malformations, CNS disorders and cardiovascular disease
Prognosis
- Prognosis is generally excellent in majority of the patients,without any intervention.[2][3](and the 1/5/10-year mortality/survival rate of patients with [disease name] is approximately [--]%.)
- Depending on the extent of the [tumor/disease progression] at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis may vary. However, the prognosis is generally regarded as poor/good/excellent.
- The presence of [characteristic of disease] is associated with a particularly [good/poor] prognosis among patients with [disease/malignancy].
- [Subtype of disease/malignancy] is associated with the most favorable prognosis.
- The prognosis varies with the [characteristic] of tumor; [subtype of disease/malignancy] have the most favorable prognosis.
