Hi, this is Tom, and in this episode I'm going to be going through

And you can find notes at 0.0.5 and in the 0 to Finals Pediatrics book.

And you can find flashcards and questions to train your knowledge at members.turitifinals.com.

So let's jump straight in.

Multi-sistic, dysplastic kidney is a condition where one kidney is formed of many cysts,

while the other kidney is normal and healthy.

This occurs in around one in 4,000 newborns.

In extremely rare cases it can be bilateral, which leads to renal failure in infancy.

Multi-Cystic dysplastic kidney is normally diagnosed on antinatal ultrasound scans during pregnancy.

Usually, a single healthy kidney is sufficient to lead a normal life.

Often the cystic kidney will atrophy and disappear before they reach five years of age.

A single kidney increases the risk of high blood pressure or hypertension and chronic kidney
