Renal anomalies

[Dianne]

The urinary tract is a common location for congenital anomalies of varying significance. Many anomalies are asymptomatic and diagnosed via prenatal ultrasonography or part of a routine evaluation for other congenital anomalies. Other anomalies are diagnosed during evaluation of urinary tract obstruction, urinary tract infection, or trauma.
