Congenital Diseases
What Are Congenital Diseases?
Congenital refers to conditions present at birth, often resulting in permanent birth defects. During foetal development, abnormalities can arise in the urinary tract, leading to issues such as:
- Primary Kidney Tissue Defects: Abnormalities in the kidney's functional tissue.
- Urinary Tract Obstruction: Conditions like hydronephrosis due to blocked urine flow.
- Hydronephrosis Without Obstruction: Includes issues such as vesicoureteral reflux.
- Cystic Diseases: Formation of cysts within the kidneys.
- Metabolic Diseases: Disorders affecting metabolic processes.
- Syndromes: Complex conditions involving multiple abnormalities.
