Unilateral Atrophy Of Right Kidney - A Case Report
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH IN MEDICAL SCIENCES - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
Unilateral Atrophy of kidney may be physiological or pathological. During our routine dissection, we came across anadult male cadaver presented with a hypoplasic right kidney whereas left kidney was normal. In the right kidney the capsule was difficult to strip off & adherent to its surface. The cut section showed thinned out cortex. Calyces were not well distinguished. The left kidney showed well demarcated cortex and medulla. No other significant anomalies were detected in other organs may confirms the cause of reduction in size of the right kidney in the present study due to congenital hypoplasia . In many people with congenital unilateral renal hypoplasia the other kidney works normally. Early detection of the atrophic kidneys is very important so as to prevent further deterioration of kidney damage.
