  2. Cystic kidney disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cystic_kidney_disease

    Many forms of cystic kidney disease can be detected in children prior to birth. Abnormalities, which only affect one kidney, are unlikely to cause a problem with the healthy arrival of a baby. Abnormalities which affect both kidneys can have an effect on the baby's amniotic fluid volume, which can in turn lead to problems with lung development.

  3. Nephronophthisis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephronophthisis

    Nephronophthisis is a genetic disorder of the kidneys which affects children. [3] It is classified as a medullary cystic kidney disease.The disorder is inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion and, although rare, is the most common genetic cause of childhood kidney failure.

    The complex cyst can be further evaluated with doppler ultrasonography, and for Bosniak classification and follow-up of complex cysts, either contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) or contrast CT is used. [12] Histopathology of the lining of a simple cyst of the kidney, incidentally found on autopsy, with inconspicuous nuclei.

  5. Multicystic dysplastic kidney - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicystic_dysplastic_kidney

    Multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK) is a condition that results from the malformation of the kidney during fetal development. The kidney consists of irregular cysts of varying sizes. Multicystic dysplastic kidney is a common type of renal cystic disease, and it is a cause of an abdominal mass in infants. [5]

  6. Polycystic kidney disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycystic_kidney_disease

    Polycystic kidney disease (PKD or PCKD, also known as polycystic kidney syndrome) is a genetic disorder [5] [6] in which the renal tubules become structurally abnormal, resulting in the development and growth of multiple cysts within the kidney. [7] These cysts may begin to develop in utero, in infancy, in childhood, or in adulthood. [8] Cysts ...

  7. Glomerulocystic kidney disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glomerulocystic_kidney_disease

    Glomerulocystic kidney disease can be inherited by autosomal dominant inheritance, develop due to urinary tract obstruction, [3] manifest in cell proliferation during organogenesis, [8] and develop through other related kidney diseases. Familial heritable GCKD can be inherited by offspring through adults which can cause GCKD in children or babies.

  8. Renal ultrasonography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renal_ultrasonography

    Cysts cause posterior enhancement as a consequence of reduced attenuation of the ultrasound within the cyst fluid (Figure 5). The simple cyst is a benign lesion, which does not require further evaluation. [1] Complex cysts can have membranes dividing the fluid-filled center with internal echoes, calcifications or irregular thickened walls.

  9. Renal cysts and diabetes syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renal_cysts_and_diabetes...

    With or without kidney disease, some people with forms of HNF1β have had various minor or major anomalies of the reproductive system. Male defects have included epididymal cysts, agenesis of the vas deferens, or infertility due to abnormal spermatozoa. Affected women have been found to have vaginal agenesis, hypoplastic, or bicornuate uterus.
