How does pelvic cavity probe and ectopic kidney do?

summary

Renal ectopia refers to the abnormal location of the kidney. The kidney originates from the pelvic cavity. If it fails to rise, it will stay in the pelvic cavity, or it can rise excessively into the thoracic cavity. The incidence of pyeloureteral junction stenosis, vesicoureteral reflux and polycystic renal dysplasia in ascending incomplete kidney increased, which need to be corrected by operation. So let's understand how to detect ectopic kidney in pelvic cavity??

How does pelvic cavity probe and ectopic kidney do?

First, in the treatment of renal disease, we must first determine whether the contralateral kidney has hypoplasia or absence, especially in the case of trauma, so as to avoid blind removal of congenital solitary kidney. If it has been found, the patient should be told to pay attention to protection as much as possible to avoid injury. Hypoplastic kidneys need not be treated if they have no symptoms or complications.

Second, the clinical importance of unilateral renal hypoplasia or absence (congenital solitary kidney) varies with different conditions. If the other side of the kidney has no other disease, it can maintain a stable internal environment and is often not found. They are often found only when they are examined for other reasons. Imaging examination can confirm the diagnosis.

Third: the more common is one side of renal hypoplasia or absence. Hypoplastic kidneys can cause low back pain and high blood pressure. Intravenous urography showed that the shape and pelvis of the affected kidney were small and indistinct. They are often found by accident.

matters needing attention

This disease is rare, accounting for 5% of all ectopic kidneys. The ratio of left to right was 1.5:1. The ratio of male to female is about 3:1. Most of them are asymptomatic and found by chance. IVP is the main diagnostic method.
