Multicystic Dysplastic Kidney (753.15) Causes Obstruction uropathy in utero Embryo dysplasia from vesicoureteral reflux In utero dysplasia
How do you treat ? Yearly renal US to ensure the other kidney has compensatory growth Check BP at 6 month intervals Check 6 month urine for protein Check yearly serum creatinine
Why remove the dysplastic kidney? Uncontrolled HTN Recurrent Infection in the dysplastic kidney Slightly higher incidence of VUR in the MCDK
