Renal Fusion Abnormality - Horseshoe Kidney
In the horseshoe kidney there is typically a fusion of the lower poles of both kidneys.
- During migration from the sacral region the two metanephric blastemas can come into contact mainly at the lower pole.
- The ureters pass in front of the zone of fusion of the kidneys.
- The kidneys and ureters usually function reasonably.
- Increased incidence of upper urinary tract obstruction or infection.
- Some horseshoe variations have been described as having associated ureter abnormalities including duplications.
