Pelvic Kidney is a medical condition where one or both of the kidneys fail to ascend from the pelvis during fetal development. This condition is a type of Ectopic Kidney, a broader term for a kidney that is not located in its usual position.
Causes[edit]
Pelvic Kidney is a congenital condition, meaning it is present at birth. It occurs when the kidney or kidneys fail to ascend from the pelvis to their normal position in the abdomen during fetal development. The exact cause of this failure to ascend is not known, but it may be related to genetic factors or environmental influences during pregnancy.
Symptoms[edit]
Many people with a Pelvic Kidney do not have any symptoms and the condition is often discovered during a medical examination for another reason. However, some people may experience symptoms such as pain in the lower back or abdomen, urinary tract infections, or kidney stones.
Diagnosis[edit]
Pelvic Kidney is usually diagnosed through imaging tests such as ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI. These tests can show the location of the kidneys and any associated abnormalities.
Treatment[edit]
Treatment for Pelvic Kidney is usually not necessary unless the condition is causing symptoms or complications. In some cases, surgery may be needed to reposition the kidney or to treat complications such as kidney stones or urinary tract infections.
