Duplex Kidney Recurrent Uti. We report the case of a 40 year old diabetic patient with a previously undiagnosed duplex kidney who had recurrent episodes of diabetic ketoacidosis triggered by urinary tract infections. A duplex collecting system or duplicated collecting system is one of the most common congenital renal tract abnormalities it is characterized by an incomplete fusion of upper and lower pole moieties resulting in a variety of complete or incomplete duplications of the collecting system.
She was ultimately found to have abscess formation in the duplicated renal moiety. We report the case of a 40 year old diabetic patient with a previously undiagnosed duplex kidney who had recurrent episodes of diabetic ketoacidosis triggered by urinary tract infections. 12 1 5 3 years normotensive patients with recurrent urinary tract infection and with no evidence of obstructive uropathy and age matched control group of 24 healthy children and adolescents.
Nevertheless there are limited data and studies focusing.
Since the first laparoscopic heminephrectomy by jordan and winslow 3 there has been a high incidence of pediatric use of laparoscopy in treatment of duplex systems. We reviewed the epidemiology diagnosis and management of duplex kidneys. Since the first laparoscopic heminephrectomy by jordan and winslow 3 there has been a high incidence of pediatric use of laparoscopy in treatment of duplex systems.
