Renal parenchyma structure anomalies are divided into megacalyx, Fanconi disease, and spongy kidney. These developmental defects are often accompanied by impaired renal function.
Fusion of the kidneys is a developmental defect that manifests itself in the fusion of two kidneys into a single organ. This anomaly occurs with a frequency of 3.5% of cases among all kidney defects.
Renal dystopia is a developmental anomaly characterized by abnormal position of the renal structures. This developmental defect occurs with a frequency of 2.8% of all renal developmental defects.
Renal hypoplasia is a developmental anomaly characterized by a decrease in the size of the kidney. This defect occurs with a frequency of 0.9% among all kidney anomalies.
Kidney duplication is the most common kidney malformation, accounting for 10.4% of all urinary tract anomalies. According to pathological findings, kidney duplication occurs at a frequency of 1:150.
Agenesis, or renal aplasia - a congenital single kidney, complete absence of the kidney and renal vessels accounts for 1% of all defects. The frequency of the anomaly, according to autopsy data, is 1 in 1100.
Renal vascular anomalies are divided into congenital defects of the structure, quantity, shape and location of arterial vessels and are frequently diagnosed among all anomalies of the kidneys and urinary tract.
Chyluria is a pathological condition that is accompanied by the release of lymph with urine. The urine is milky in color. Chyluria occurs as a result of a fistula between the lymphatic system and the urinary tract.
Bacteriuria is a pathological condition characterized by the presence of bacteria in the urine. Bacteriuria is a sign of inflammatory processes in the kidneys and urinary tract.
