Question 1

how does multicystic kidney dysplasia differ from polycystic kidney disease?

Accepted Answer

At birth,not heredit: The former is a congenital but not hereditary disease involving usually one kidney forming a mass of cysts without functioning kidney tissue.  Found with prenatal ultrasound.   Kidney  shrinks and the other kidney assumes its work.  The most common form of PKD which is  hereditary  results in increasing cyst number and size over many years.  Other organs have cysts and kidneys fail over many years.

Question 2

does my son have congental hypoplasia or renal dysplasia ? kidney us normal. rk  7.3 cm   lk 8.5cm. he is 13 yrs  growing 3-10th for centile height.

Accepted Answer

Not enough info: It sounds like he is a little short stature, or low height, but there's a lot of things that can do that. There is a little discrepancy between the kidneys, but that can be normal too. It depends on what else is seen on ultrasound, renal function testing, and blood pressure measurements, plus a thorough endocrine workup to check height issues. Talk to your doc about this first.

Question 3

if i had a nephrectomy due to renal dysplasia, but was told my remaining kidney was healthy, how often should i get my kidney checked?

Accepted Answer

Every 6-12months: Even if other kidney is normal and has normal kidney functions, it is better to be under the care of nephrologist or at least family physician every 6-12 months.

Question 4

Dysplasia is not : Cancer yet, so it would not spread to other body parts.  Your doctor will need to look for other causes of low back pain.

Question 5
