CHF: Your cardiologist is best qualified to answer your question. With the use of medications like ACE inhibitors, ARB's and the newer agent Ernesto, life expectancy with cardiomyopathy and reduced ejection fraction has improved in recent years. Cardiac ventricular assist devices and transplants have also extended life expectancy. Close follow-up by your cardiologist is crucial.

Question 9

what does a left renal agenesis mean?

Accepted Answer

Absent left kidney: Means that the left kidney failed to develop, so there is only a right kidney present. Most people can lead a perfectly normal life with one kidney. They should avoid excess protein in their diet and minimize salt intake (good advice for everyone).

Question 10

in what way is a renal agenesis diagnosed?

Accepted Answer

Often by accident: The availability of ultrasound has increased the likelihood that an abdominal study done for an unrelated issue will pick up renal agenesis or other malformation. I suggest the study for first degree relatives of a person with such renal defects as their risk increases to 1/50 from the 1/500 of the general population.It might also be found when evaluating a kidney issue, like recurrent uti's.
