A 2 y.o. child has had three urinary tract infections with an increasing blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine. Renal ultrasound shows a dilated uereter and deformed kidney on the right side. Diagnosis?
|
Urinary tract anomaly with multicystic kidney disease
|
|
|
A woman presents with a history of 4 consecutive first trimester spontaneous abortions. She has a normal external appearance and pelvic examination. Diagnosis?
|
Bicornuate uterus
|
|
|
A woman presents for evaluation of infertility after trying to conceive for three years. The physical examination and external genitalia appear normal. Diagnosis?

|
|
|
A child presents with weight loss, poor appetite, and lethargy. Blood chemistries show markedly elevated blood urea nitrogen and creatinine. Renal ultrasound reveals the presence of both kidneys and normal urinary tracts. The kidneys are enlarged and unusually homogenous in texture. A family history reveals that the parents are first cousins.
|
Polycystic kidney disease
|
|
|
A female infant develops poor feeding and vomiting on the second day of life. Her initial blood chemistries reveal a low glucose, low sodium, and high potassium.

The most probable diagnosis is:
|
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia
|
|
|
Horseshoe kidney:
|
Fusion of the lower poles of the kidneys

|
|
|
Exstrophy of the bladder:
|
Opening of the anterior body wall and bladder
|
|
|
Ectopic ureter:
|
Abnormal entry of the ureter into the lower urogenital sinus
|
|
|
Common in Turner syndrome:
|
Fusion of the lower poles of the kidneys
