Comparative analysis of kidney growth and function in children with different types of unilateral congenital renal anomalies: a 2 year follow-up study

Paper C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

Doctors followed children born with a problem in one kidney for two years and tracked how the kidneys grew and worked. Different birth defects went with different patterns of growth and function. This is an observational study, so it shows a link between the type of defect and how kidneys fare, not proof that one causes the other. It is about children born with kidney differences, not adults with chronic kidney disease.
