An Interesting case of Supernumerary Kidney with PUJ obstruction in the native kidneys

Abstract

Congenital anomalies of Kidney and Urinary Tract (CAKUT) present with interesting challenges to a urologist in his practice. The incidence of CAKUT is 4.2 per 10,000 births. CAKUT are one of the major risk factors in adults requiring renal replacement therapy. Although children with CAKUT are often asymptomatic, CAKUT are estimated to be implicated in 30% to 60% of cases of childhood-onset chronic kidney disease (CKD) in different populations. We hereby present a rare case of a patient with Supernumerary Kidneys in which both bilateral native kidneys showed evidence of Pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction and ectopic pelvic kidney with normal function.
