Medical References: Genital And Urinary Tract Defects Some of the most common urinary tract defects include renal agenesis, hydronephrosis,polycystic kidney disease, multicystic kidneys, low urinary tract http://www.marchofdimes.com/professionals/681_1215.asp
Extractions: There are many birth defects that involve the genitals and urinary tract. These defects can affect the kidneys (organs that filter wastes from the blood and form urine), ureters (tubes leading from the kidneys to the bladder), bladder (sac that holds urine), urethra (the tube that drains urine out of the body from the bladder), and the male and female genitals. For boys, the genitals include the penis, prostate gland and testes. For girls, the genitals include the vagina, uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries. Abnormalities of the genitals and urinary tract are among the most common birth defects, affecting as many as 1 in 10 babies. Some of these abnormalities are minor problems that may cause no symptoms (such as having two ureters leading from one kidney to the bladder), and go undiagnosed unless the child has an X-ray, ultrasound examination or surgery for a related or unrelated problem. Other abnormalities can cause problems such as urinary tract infections, blockages, pain, and kidney damage or failure.

Extractions: (advertisement) Synonyms, Key Words, and Related Terms: Potters syndrome, Potter disease, Potters disease, Potter facies, Potters facies, Potter sequence, oligohydramnios secondary to renal disease, renal agenesis, bilateral renal agenesis, infantile polycystic kidney disease, cystic kidney disease, posterior urethral valves, early rupture of membranes, oligohydramnios Background: Potter syndrome, which causes a typical physical appearance, is the result of oligohydramnios secondary to renal diseases such as bilateral renal agenesis. Other causes are obstructive uropathy, autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease, medullary dysplastic kidney, and renal hypoplasia. The latter causes results in less severe forms of deformation that are usually referred to as the Potter sequence. Pathophysiology: The fetus continuously swallows amniotic fluid, which is reabsorbed by the gastrointestinal tract and then reintroduced into the amniotic cavity by the kidneys. Oligohydramnios occurs if the volume of amniotic fluid is less than normal for the corresponding period of gestation. This may be due to decreased urine production secondary to bilateral renal agenesis, obstruction of the urinary tract, or, occasionally, prolonged rupture of membranes. The resulting oligohydramnios is the cause of the deformities observed in Potter syndrome. Genetics During nephrogenesis, the essential interaction between the ureteric bud and the metanephric mesenchyme is controlled by genes, transcription factors, and growth factors. For example, the L1M1 and PAX2 transcription factors are essential for the formation of the mesonephric duct, from which the ureteric bud develops. L1M1-deficient mice have complete renal agenesis.

Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report. Information on the following diseases can be found in the Related Disorders section of this report: MURCS Association is a very rare developmental disorder that affects only females. The acronym MURCS stands for (MU)llerian, (R)enal, (C)ervicothoracic (S)omite abnormalities. This rare disorder is characterized by the absence of the uterus, cervix, and upper part of the vagina (Mullerian Aplasia); kidney (renal) abnormalities, including absent (agenic) and/or improperly positioned (ectopic) kidneys; and/or malformations of the spinal column, ribs, and/or arms. Some affected females may exhibit additional physical abnormalities, such as malformations of the head and facial (craniofacial) area. In individuals with MURCS Association, symptoms vary from case to case.

Unser Körper produziert Abfallprodukte, die ihn vergiften würden, würden sie sich ansammeln. Durch Ausscheidung wird der Körper gereinigt. Die Haut scheidet Wasser und Salze aus, die Lunge CO und Wasserdampf und die Nieren Urin. Die Nieren sind zwei paarig angelegte Organe, die sich beidseits der Wirbelsäule etwa in Höhe der unteren Rippen befinden. Eine gesunde Niere eines Erwachsenen ist bohnenförmig, ca. 7cm breit und 12 cm lang. Ein kleines Rohr, Harnleiter genannt, verbindet die Nieren mit der Blase. Die Nieren bekommen sauerstoffreiches Blut direkt vom Herzen, damit sie gut funktionieren können, das " verbrauchte " Blut wird in den Blutkreislauf zurückgeleitet. Sie bestehen aus einem grossen Netzwerk kleiner Kanälchen, in denen das Blut filtriert und von seinen Schlacken befreit wird. Was ist das Potter Syndrom ?

Un petit conduit appelé uretère relie les reins à la vessie. Lurine est produite dans les reins et est ensuite acheminée vers la vessie par luretère. Les reins sont approvisionnés, depuis le cur, en sang très riche en oxygène. Ce sang aide les reins à fonctionner et retourne ensuite vers le cur. Les reins sont composés dun réseau de petits tubes, qui sont tous nécessaires au bon fonctionnement des reins. Quest ce quest le syndrome de Potter ?

Extractions: Bilateral renal agenesis is found in 1 per 5000 births, while unilateral disease is found in 1 per 2000 births. Renal agenesis is usually an isolated sporadic abnormality but, in a few cases, it may be secondary to a chromosomal abnormality or part of a genetic syndrome (such as Fraser syndrome), or a developmental defect (such as VACTERL association). In non-syndromic cases, the risk of recurrence is approximately 3%. However, in about 15% of cases, one of the parents has unilateral renal agenesis and in these families the risk of recurrence is increased. Bilateral renal agenesis is a lethal condition, usually in the neonatal period due to pulmonary hypoplasia. The prognosis with unilateral agenesis is normal. Return to Contents Page Next...

Extractions: BILATERAL RENAL AGENESIS Bilateral Renal Agenesis is the absence of both kidneys at birth. It is a genetic disorder characterized by a failure of the kidneys to develop in a fetus. This absence of kidneys causes a deficiency of amniotic fluid (Oligohydramnios) in a pregnant woman. Normally, the amniotic fluid acts as a cushion for the developing fetus. When there is an insufficient amount of this fluid, compression of the fetus may occur resulting in further malformations of the baby. This disorder is more common in infants born of a parent who has a kidney malformation, particularly the absence of one kidney (unilateral renal agenesis). Studies have proven that unilateral renal agenesis and bilateral renal agenesis are genetically related.
