Overview

Renal agenesis is the absence of one (unilateral) or both (bilateral) kidneys at birth. Renal agenesis is a medical condition in which one (unilateral) or both (bilateral) fetal kidneys fail to develop.

It can be associated with RET or UPK3A.

Epidemiology and Demographics

The general incidence of unilateral renal agenesis (URA) has been reported to be approximately 1 in 2031 individuals. The incidence of bilateral renal agenesis (BRA) is approximately 1 in every 3000 pregnancies. Males are more commonly affected by unilateral renal agenesis (URA) than females. The mortality rate of bilateral renal agenesis (BRA) without prenatal therapy is 100%.
