Overview
Renal ectopia has to be differentiated from the following:
- Hydronephrosis
- Ureteropelvic junction obstruction
- Duplicate collecting systems, ovarian cysts
- Mesenteric cysts
- Sacrococcygeal teratoma.
The main differential diagnosis of HSK is another variety of renal ectopia known as pancake kidney, disc kidney or shield kidney. There is a complete midline fusion of the kidneys at the pelvis.[1] It is always found below the L2 vertebral body and is frequently associated with vascular abnormalities of the aortic branches
Differentiating [Disease name] from other Diseases
[Disease name] must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [clinical feature 1], [clinical feature 2], and [clinical feature 3], such as [differential dx1], [differential dx2], and [differential dx3].
OR
[Disease name] must be differentiated from [differential dx1], [differential dx2], and [differential dx3].
OR
As [disease name] manifests in a variety of clinical forms, differentiation must be established in accordance with the particular subtype. [Subtype name 1] must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [clinical feature 1], such as [differential dx1] and [differential dx2]. In contrast, [subtype name 2] must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [clinical feature 2], such as [differential dx3] and [differential dx4].
Differentiating [disease name] from other diseases on the basis of [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3]
On the basis [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3], [disease name] must be differentiated from [disease 1], [disease 2], [disease 3], [disease 4], [disease 5], and [disease 6].
