| Core Tip |
The study reviewed the clinical characteristics, complications, and management of the unilateral hypoplastic kidney in adults. The various clinical presentations are due to the different complications including urolithiasis, obstruction, urinary tract infections (UTIs), and life-threatening morbidities such as anuria and septicemia. Renal radioisotope scanning is indicated for cases with sizable kidneys, verification of the decision of surgical intervention, and patient preference. Conservative and endoscopic approaches should be tried first for the management of complications. However, laparoscopic nephrectomy is recommended for the treatment of persistent complications such as hypertension and recurrent UTIs or urolithiasis. |
