|May 1, 1983
Abstract:
About 230 cases of congenital hemihypertrophy have been reported. A significant number of genitourinary abnormalities have been described in association with this disorder. Among these are Wilms tumors, adrenal malignancies, and medullary sponge kidney. We report on a patient with congenital hemihypertrophy, medullary sponge kidney, and an adrenal carcinoma. A brief review of the literature is given.

01:21External Anatomy of the Kidney
The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs in the human body that play a critical role in maintaining overall health. They filter out waste products from the blood, regulate blood pressure, maintain electrolyte balance, and stimulate the production of red blood cells.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or HCM, is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by asymmetric left ventricular hypertrophy without ventricular dilation. It is more common in men and is typically diagnosed in young, athletic adults.EtiologyHCM is primarily genetic and is caused by mutations in genes encoding sarcomeric proteins. Researchers have identified over 1400 mutations across at least 11 different genes. Among these, the most frequently occurring mutations are found in the...
