DevelopmentRenal Tumors and Defects
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? Wilms' tumor is a cancer of the kidneys thatusually affects children by 5 years of age but may
also occur in the fetus.
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? Wilms' tumor is due to mutations in the WT1
gene on 11p13, and it may be associated with
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
other abnormalities and syndromes.? For example, WAGR syndrome is characterized by
aniridia, Genitourinary abnormalities, and Wilms'
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
tumor and mental retardation
? Denys-Drash syndrome consists of renal failure,

? Multicystic dysplastic kidney in which
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
numerous ducts are surrounded by
undifferentiated cells.
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? Nephrons fail to develop? ureteric bud fails to branch,
? the collecting ducts never form.
In some cases, these defects cause involution of

the kidneys and renal agenesisPosition of the Kidney
? The kidney, initially in the pelvic region, later shifts to a
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
more cranial position in the abdomen.
This ascent of the kidney is caused by
? diminution of body curvature
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? by growth of the body in the lumbar and sacral regionsIn the pelvis, the metanephros receives its arterial
supply from a pelvic branch of the aorta. During its ascent
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
to the abdominal level, it is vascularized by arteries thatoriginate from the aorta at continuously higher levels.
The lower vessels usually degenerate, but some may

remain.

Developmental Anamoly- Disc KidneyIn congenital polycystic kidney disease
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? It may be inherited as an autosomal recessive or autosomaldominant disorder or may be caused by other factors.
Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? which occurs in 1/5,000 births, is a progressive disorder inwhich cysts form from collecting ducts. The kidneys
become very large, and renal failure occurs in infancy or
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
childhood.
In autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease,
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
cysts form from all segments of the nephron and usually donot cause renal failure until adulthood. The autosomal
dominant disease is more common (1/500 to 1/1,000 births)
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
but less progressive than the autosomal recessive disease.
Polycystic Kidney

Recessive form: 1:5000; cysts from collecting tubules; renal failure in infancyDominant form: 1:500-1000: cysts from anywhere; renal failure in adulthood
Duplications of the Ureters

Kidneys With Double Ureter
Duplication of the ureter
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? results from early splitting of the ureteric bud
? Splitting may be partial or complete, and metanephric
tissue may be divided into two parts, each with its own
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
renal pelvis and ureter. More frequently, however, the two
parts have a number of lobes in common as a result of
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
intermingling of collecting tubules.? In rare cases, one ureter opens into the bladder, and the
other is ectopic, entering the vagina, urethra, or vestibule .
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
This abnormality results from development of two ureteric
buds. One of the buds usually has a normal position,
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
whereas the abnormal bud moves down together with themesonephric duct. Thus it has a low, abnormal entrance in
the bladder, urethra, vagina, or epididymal region.
