“…In ectopia, unaccented kidney retains the vascular pattern corresponding to the developmental stage at which their ascent is arrested. 12 In our series, one case of unilateral agenesis was found in 1,900 autopsies (1:1,900). Autopsy incidence of this anomaly has been reported to be 1:1,100 13 and 1:1,500.…”

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.

“…16 Renal agenesis might be associated with the autosomal dominant, the autosomal recessive, as well as, certain X-linked syndromes. 12 The autopsy incidence of crossed ectopia with fusion has been calculated at 1 in 2,000. 17 There is a slight male predominance (3:2) and a left-to-right crossover occurs somewhat more frequent.…”

Background: Congenital anomalies of urinary system are common and are found in 3-4% of population, and lethal urinary anomalies account for 10% of termination of pregnancy. Methods: A study was done to know the incidence of congenital anomalies at birth for the period of 4 months from May 99 -Sept 99 at Cheluvamba hospital attached to Mysore medical college. Congenital anomalies in the still births, live births and aborted fetuses >20 weeks were studied along with the case history and ultrasound reports. Aborted fetuses and still born babies were collected for autopsy after the consent of parents. These babies were fixed in 10% formalin and autopsy was done after fixing, and anomalies were noted. Results: Total births during study period were 3000. There were 61 babies with congenital anomalies and 6 babies had anomalies of urinary system. Among the urinary system anomalies 1 baby had bilateral renal agenesis, 1 baby had unilateral renal agenesis with anophthalmia (Fraser syndrome), 2 babies had Multicystic dysplastic kidney disease (MCDK) and 1 live baby had hydronephrosis due to obstruction at pelvi ureteric junction, and 1 live female baby had polycystic kidneys. Conclusion: Incidence of urinary system anomalies in the present study was 2 per 1000 births. U/S detection of urinary anomalies varies with period of gestation, amniotic fluid volume and visualisation of urinary bladder. Autopsy helps to detect renal agenesis.
