What is Renal agenesis?
It is the failure of the fetal kidneys to form
What is the dignois when a kidney is the size of a pea?
When a kidney is the size of a pea, it is typically indicative of a condition known as renal agenesis or hypoplasia. Renal agenesis refers to the complete absence of one or both kidneys, while hypoplasia indicates that the kidneys are underdeveloped. Both conditions can lead to various complications, including issues with renal function and hypertension. Further evaluation is necessary to determine the underlying causes and implications for the individual's health.
What is an agenesis?
An agenesis is an imperfect development of the body, or an anomaly of organization.
What is the medical term meaning born with one kidney?
I believe it is called Unilateral Renal Agenesis.
What veins drain into the renal vein?
Renal veins empty into the inferior vena cava
What is the difference between aplasia and agenesis?
Aplasia is the absence of the organ with only the rudiment present Agenesis is the complete lack of the organ
What are the artiries and veins that lead to the kidney?
The left and right renal arteries and veins branch off from the abdominal aorta.
What is the venous drainage of the kidney?
The venous drainage of the kidney primarily occurs through the renal veins, which collect deoxygenated blood from the renal cortex and medulla. Each kidney has its own renal vein that drains into the inferior vena cava on the right side and into the left renal vein on the left side. The left renal vein also receives blood from the left gonadal vein and lumbar veins before it empties into the inferior vena cava. This venous system ensures efficient return of blood to the heart after filtration in the kidneys.
What is the medical term meaning no formation?
agenesis
What is the path of blood in the systemic circuit from the heart to the kidneys and kidneys to the heart?
left atrium -> left ventricle -> aorta -> renal artery -> renal vein -> inferior vena cava -> right atrium -> right ventricle
Which gonadal vein empties into the renal vein on the same side of the body?
left
Why the left testicle empties into the left renal vein instead of the inferior vena cava?
Since the renal veins empty into the large inferior vena cava, it is more reasonable for the smaller amount of venous blood flow from the testicle to use the renal vein (rather than empty directly into the inferior vena cava).
