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 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:[1]
    • 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.[2]
    • Increased risk for extrarenal disorders that has been associated with horseshoe kidney are gastrointestinal tract and vertebral malformations, CNS disorders and cardiovascular disease.[3]
    • Increasing association with Wilm's tumour
    • Traumatic injury as low positioning prevents protection by ribs

Prognosis

  • Prognosis is generally excellent in majority of the patients,without any intervention.[4][5](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].
