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 urological 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 tumor
- Blunt traumatic injury as low positioning prevents protection by ribs[4]
Prognosis
- Prognosis is generally excellent in majority of the patients,without any intervention unless there is no associated complication.[5][6]
