Overview
Physical Examination
Unilateral renal agenesis (URA) have an increased incidence of proteinuria, hypertension, and renal insufficiency. Therefore, patients, even those with normal solitary kidney, should be followed up with:[1][2]
- Blood pressure
- Check for hypertension
- Urinalysis
URA may be isolated or associated with other anomalies and malformations. Therefore, screening and checking for other contralateral congenital anomaly of kidney or urinary tract (CAKUT) and extra-renal anomalies should be considered when URA is diagnosed. Some of the findings that may be important to consider in the physical exam of URA include:[3][4]
- Urinary tract
- Associated CAKUT
- VUR (vesicoureteral reflux)
- PUJO (pelviureteric junction obstruction)
- PUV (posterior urethral valves)
- Duplex kidney
- Ureterocele
- Megaureter
- Associated CAKUT
- Associated extra-renal anomalies
- Skull
- Dysraphism parieto-occipital
- Macrocephaly
- Anencephaly
- Skull
- Spine
- Spina bifida
- Hemivertebra
- Coccygeal congenital fistula
- Skeleton
- Face
- Thorax
- Diaphragmatic hernia
- Thoracic haemangioma
- Heart
- Lung
- Congenital lung cyst
- Agenesis of lung
- Genital system
- Female tract anomalies
- Unicornate uterus
- Developmental ovarian cyst
- Female tract anomalies
