Can female fetus have renal pelvis dilatation?
Yes, both genders can have dilatation of the renal pelvis.
What is a baggy pelvis of the kidney?
dilatation of renal pelvis above pelvi ureteric junction without any obstruction.
What is renal dilatation?
The renal pelvis is where urine collects in the kidney before it is passed down the ureter to the bladder. Renal pelvis dilation (RPD) is a slight increase in the amount of urine in the renal pelvis of one or both kidneys, and is found in a small percentage of fetuses during ultrasounds. It occurs in 2-3% of pregnancies.
What is pyelocaliectasis?
Mild dilatation of the collecting system of the kidney-- calyces and renal pelvis.
Where does urine collect before exiting the kidneys?
Renal Pelvis
What is bilateral pelviectasis?
This is a condition in which there is dilatation of the renal pelvis, the kidney part that is in direct connection with the ureter. The ureter is in direct communication with urinary bladder. If urinary bladder infection occurs, transmission through the ureter to the renal pelvis may occur resulting a more serious infection known as pyelonephritis which was reported to be more common in children born with pelviectasis. Pyelonephritis can cause chronic renal damage. Pelviectasis is usually diagnosed in the prenatal period or shortly after in newborns and is thought to be a self limited that resolves later. Dilatation in the renal pelvis in adults occurs when obstruction below the kidney level occurs either in the ureter or in the bladder near the ureteric orifice (like stones, fibrosis). Back pressure will cause changes in the kidney usually in the form of renal pelvis dilatation and calcyeal dilatation.
Where in the body do chickens have their kidneys?
Kidneys are situated on dorsal side each on either side of vertebral column in the cavities of pelvis region.
What can cause inflammation in your renal pelvis and kidneys?
Infection is the most common cause of inflammation in the renal pelvis and kidneys. Other causes of inflammation may include autoimmune disorders. Talk to your health care provider for advice specific to your situation.
Mild calyceal prominence of palvicalyceal system of both kidneys means?
Mild calyceal prominence of palvicalyceal (pelvicalyceal) system of both kidneys means there is a slight increase in the storage of urine. It means the part of the kidneys where the urine collects before it leaves the kidney is enlarged.
Where is the renal system located?
The renal or urinary system, comprising the kidneys, bladder and connecting tubes, is located in the back of the abdomen (kidneys) and inside the pelvis near the groin (bladder, urethra). The bladder is connected to the kidneys via a pair of tubes called ureters.
What structure conveys urine to the renal pelvis?
bowman's capsule. The collecting duct found in Bowman's Capsule passes the urine to the renal pelvis, which is drained by the ureter
Is the medulla lateral to the renal pelvis?
Yes. The renal medulla is lateral to the renal pelvis. You have the renal pelvis placed lateral to the medulla. The kidneys face to each other lateral to the vertebral column.. The right kidney is situated lower than the left kidney. This happens due to big size of the liver.
