Renal dysgenesis is a term that is used to describe any underdevelopment of the kidneys. In a nutshell it is a term used to describe premature kidneys.
Forms of Renal Dysgenesis
There are two main forms of renal dysgenesis, and they include:
[i] Renal agenesis – this is a term used to describe the complete failure of one or both kidneys to develop. It is most commonly unilateral.
[ii] Renal hypoplasia – this describes a situation in which the kidneys develop with a normal architecture, but are of a smaller size.
