Kidney I

Kidney I is a developmental anomaly that is characterized by fusion of the upper pole of one kidney with the lower pole of the other. In this case, the longitudinal axes of both kidneys coincide.

This abnormality can be detected by ultrasound or computed tomography. It can be either congenital or acquired as a result of injury or kidney surgery.

Kidney I can cause a variety of symptoms, including lower back pain, difficulty urinating, decreased kidney function, and even kidney failure. Treatment depends on the severity of symptoms and may include drug therapy, surgery, or a combination of these methods.

It is important to note that kidney I is a rare disease and most cases are discovered incidentally during medical examinations. However, if you suspect that you may have kidney I, it is recommended that you see your doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Kidney i is a developmental anomaly in the form of fusion of the upper pole (or lateral sections) of one kidney with the upper pole (or lateral section) of another kidney. It is observed bilaterally. In this case, the longitudinal axes of both kidneys intersect. One kidney creeps onto the other and absorbs it, but complete fusion between the organs does not occur, since there is a connective tissue layer between them.

Depending on how pronounced the fusion is, the kidney can be of different sizes. There are also anomalies of various types, such as one of the important ones - a horseshoe-shaped anomaly of kidney development, as well as a horseshoe-shaped enlarged anomaly. A kidney with a developmental anomaly has the following distinctive feature: the lower pole is combined with the upper part of the opposite kidney, while the vessels and ureter of the altered kidney are located in the calyx from above, while the vessels of the lower part of this kidney
