Renal Hypoplasia
Renal Hypoplasia is a medical condition characterized by the underdevelopment of one or both kidneys. In individuals with this condition, the kidneys are smaller than normal and may not function effectively. This can lead to various health issues, including high blood pressure and kidney failure, depending on the severity of the underdevelopment.
The exact cause of Renal Hypoplasia is often unknown, but it can be associated with genetic factors or environmental influences during pregnancy. Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests, such as ultrasound, to assess kidney size and function. Treatment may vary based on symptoms and kidney performance.
