PERSISTANT FETAL LOBULATIONS AND HYPOPLASIA OF ADULT KIDNEYS
Dr. A. Himabindu, Dr. S. Muralikrishna
Abstract :
Kidneys are important excretory organs. In intrauterine life they are developed in the form of lobules from intermediate mesoderm. The fetal lobules disappear in postnatal life with increase in number and size of nephrons. But this feature persists in some adult kidneys as lobulated kidneys. The study was conducted on 40 adult kidneys dissected during the teaching program of undergraduate medical students. Out of these, three kidneys showed varied presentation in the form of lobulations and renal hypoplasia. Even though it doesnot affect its function, the lobulated kidneys mimic as renal scars in investigative procedures. The varied relation of hilar structures of these kidneys may cause ureteropelvic obstruction.
