Overview
History
Maternal history during pregnancy for the following may be important in unilateral renal disease (URA):[1]
- Uncontrolled diabetes
- Treatment for hypertension
The following may be important to check in the family history of patients with URA:[2]
- URA
- CAKUT (congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract)
- End stage renal disease (ESRD)
- Consanguinity
Symptoms
Since patients with unilateral renal agenesis (URA) have an increased risk for proteinuria, hypertension, and renal insufficiency, checking for symptoms of these complications should be considered.[2]
Checking for other contralateral congenital anomaly of kidney or urinary tract (CAKUT) such as VUR (vesicoureteral reflux) and PUJO (pelviureteric junction obstruction), extra-renal anomalies in different organs (such as cardiac, lung, gastrointestinal, genital, skeleton, and vertebral) , and associated syndromes and sequences (such as VACTERL, CHARGE and Trisomy 18) should be considered when URA is diagnosed.[3][4]
