The fused part is the isthmus of the horseshoe kidney. The abnormal anatomy can affect kidney drainage resulting in increased frequency of kidney stones and urinary tract infections as well as increase risk of certain renal cancers. [1] Fusion abnormalities of the kidney can be categorized into two groups: horseshoe kidney and crossed fused ...
Most people with horseshoe kidney are asymptomatic, although it does predispose someone to certain complications like hydronephrosis, backup of urine due to an obstructed ureter. Also, having a horseshoe kidney is associated with kidney stones, infection, and chromosomal disorders like Turner syndrome, trisomy 13, 18, and 21.
Horseshoe kidney : A condition in which the lower poles of both kidneys are fused. The fusion alters the normal position of the collecting system, which may cause the absence of the expected renal sinus appearance in axial images. Crossed fused renal ectopia: One kidney crosses over to the opposite side and fuses with the other kidney.
Kidney malformations ( horseshoe kidney, etc.) in Turner syndrome may be more common in mosaicism than in the full 45,X karyotype. [38] Serious complications of the kidney anomalies associated with Turner syndrome are rare, although there is some risk of issues such as obstructive uropathy, where the flow of urine from the kidneys is blocked.

Nephrology is the medical specialty which addresses diseases of kidney function: these include CKD, nephritic and nephrotic syndromes, acute kidney injury, and pyelonephritis. Urology addresses diseases of kidney (and urinary tract) anatomy : these include cancer , renal cysts , kidney stones and ureteral stones , and urinary tract obstruction .
English: What is horseshoe kidney? Horseshoe kidney, or sometimes renal fusion, is where the two kidneys fuse together into one kidney sometime during development. As it migrates up into the abdomen, it gets held up on the inferior mesenteric artery. This video describes the pathophysiology, as well as other diseases associated with horseshoe ...

Among the anomalies of kidney development are hypoplasia and dysplasia of the kidneys (dysplasia can be unilateral or bilateral), agenesis (absence) of one or both kidneys, polycystic kidney disease, simple renal cysts, perirenal pseudocysts, doubled or tripled renal arteries, malposition of the kidneys, horseshoe kidney and nephroblastoma.
