Unilateral, large, hyperechoic kidneyFrom: Recep Has (recephas@superonline.com)Wed Feb 26 16:15:28 2003
I have detected a large (36x18mm), hyperechoic kidney in a 24 week fetus. The appearence of the kidney was similar to infantyl type of policystic kidney (it was homogenously hyperechoic, there was no tumor (ie. nephroblastoma, or congenital mesoblastic nephroma) or cystic structures in the parenchym, and the pelvis renalis visible but not full with urine). However, the other kidney was normal in size (31x18mm) and appearence. Both adrenal glands were normal in size, localization and appearence. Amniotic fluid volume was normal and the largest diameter of the bladder was 17mm. Fetus had no additional abnormality. I looked for if ARPKD (infantyl polycystic disease) could be unilateral(at least in this stage of the pregnancy), but found no information. (I will try to upload the images) Is there any comment on this?
