Unilateral renal agenesis (URA), a common congenital urinary issue, is often found via fetal ultrasound. While isolated URA has a good prognosis, associated conditions and long-term risks like hypertension necessitate lifelong monitoring.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Urology
  • Congenital Malformations
  • Medical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Unilateral renal agenesis (URA) is a frequent congenital urinary tract abnormality.
  • Diagnosis typically occurs during prenatal ultrasonography.
  • URA can be isolated or linked to genetic syndromes and other congenital defects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the diagnosis, associations, and long-term outcomes of unilateral renal agenesis.
  • To highlight the importance of identifying associated anomalies in patients with URA.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on unilateral renal agenesis.
  • Analysis of diagnostic methods, including fetal ultrasonography and pelvic ultrasound for females.
  • Examination of associated conditions and long-term follow-up data.

Main Results:

  • URA is commonly diagnosed prenatally.
  • Associated conditions include chromosomal abnormalities, VACTERL association, MURCS association, and cardiac defects.
  • Mullerian abnormalities are found in girls with URA, and vesicoureteral reflux is common in the contralateral kidney.
  • Isolated URA generally has a favorable prognosis, but long-term risks exist.

Conclusions:

  • Unilateral renal agenesis requires comprehensive evaluation for associated anomalies.
  • Lifelong monitoring is recommended for patients with a single kidney due to potential long-term complications.
  • Early diagnosis and management are crucial for improving patient outcomes.
