Case reports in endocrinology·2021

This study reviewed 30 horseshoe kidney cases over 20 years, finding abdominolumbar pain and renal stones as common issues. Treatment varied based on associated uropathies like ureteropelvic junction syndrome.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Nephrology
  • Medical Case Series

Background:

  • Horseshoe kidney is a congenital anomaly with potential urological complications.
  • Understanding its clinical presentation and associations is crucial for effective management.

Observation:

  • A 20-year series included 30 patients with horseshoe kidney (20 males, 10 females).
  • Mean age was 35 years, with a range of 20-65 years.
  • Abdominolumbar pain, hematuria, and pyuria were the primary clinical presentations.

Findings:

  • Horseshoe kidney was commonly associated with renal stones (20 cases).
  • Other associated conditions included ureteropelvic junction syndrome (8 cases) and upper urinary tract tumors (1 case).

Implications:

  • Early diagnosis of horseshoe kidney and its associated pathologies is vital.
  • Tailored surgical treatment based on specific uropathy is essential for effective management.
  • Further research into the long-term outcomes of horseshoe kidney management is warranted.
