“…9 The blood supply of these kidneys has been reported to be quite variable. 10 Glenn 7 reported a single RA to each kidney in 30% of his cases, while in others, there were duplicate, triplicate, or asymmetric RAs. The blood supply to isthmus has been reported to be very variable which may be from RAs or independently arising from aorta, inferior mesenteric artery, external iliac, or common iliac arteries.…”

The congenital anomalies of kidney are not uncommon. The incidence of renal anomalies varies from 1:400 for horseshoe kidney to 1:10,000 for bilateral renal agenesis. The most of this available data is from western populations. Little or no data is available on incidence of renal anomalies in Indian population. Our objective was to determine the incidence of congenital renal anomalies in Indian population. A retrospective analysis of observations made from 1,900 consecutive autopsies for presence of congenital renal anomalies was done. In 1,900 autopsies, there were nine cases of congenitally anomalous kidneys (42%). These anomalies included three cases of horseshoe kidney (16%), two cases of extrarenal calyces (12%), and one each of renal ectopia with fusion, trilobar kidney, polycystic kidney and unilateral renal agenesis. The incidence of renal anomalies in Indian population is relatively less as compared to their western counterparts.

“…Jacopo Berengario da Carpi first described it in 1522 during an autopsy, but Botallo, in 1564, presented the first extensive description and illustration of a horseshoe kidney. 4 Embryologically, the abnormality occurs between the fourth and sixth week of gestation after the ureteric bud has entered the renal blastema. There are several variations in the basic shape of the horseshoe kidney.…”

“…. Jacopo Berengario da Carpi first described it in 1522 during an autopsy, but Botallo, in 1564, presented the first extensive description and illustration of a horseshoe kidney [5]. It is found to be more frequent in men, with a 2:1 male/female ratio.…”
