A STUDY OF RENAL ANOMALIES: ABBRENT VESSEL
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 9
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: The subject of kidney anomalies including their incidence has created much interest to the scientists in late 1950 and 1960 with the aim of preventing and curing them as much as possible. Knowledge about their incidence particularly helps us to know how frequently they are seen in the population and makes us to search the possible etiological factors for such high occurrence. An attempt has been made to know the various anomalies, detailed dimensions of specimens available from the cadavers. To apply this knowledge to the incoming post graduates in their research works. Renal vascular segmentation was originally recognized by John Hunter in 1794. MATERIALS & METHODS: The parameters like weight, length of the kidney, breadth of the kidney and the breadth at the superior pole, inferior pole and at the hilum are taken with the help of electronic weighing machine, vernier calipers, the scale and thread are used. During the routine dissections the kidneys identified and the photographs are taken in situ wherever necessary. The parameters are taken, anomalies are noted and detailed diagrams are drawn. OBSERVATIONS: In the present study 176 specimens of kidneys were studied out of which 40 were fetal specimens and the rest were adult specimens consisting of both cadaveric and sonograms. The adult specimens from cadavers were 76 and 60 from sonograms. SUMMARY & CONCLUSION: It is stated that anomalies of the urinary tract rank third or fourth in position and they constitute 3 – 4% of total congenital anomalies and seen in 2- 3% of population. In the present study, 14 aberrant vessels are observed.
