Abstract:

 

Background:

 

Unilateral Multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK) is one of the commonest abnormalities detected by antenatal ultrasound, with an incidence of 1 in 2,200 to 1 in 4,300 births. This study aims to assess the frequency of MCDK in children presented in our institute, and the

determinants associated with the disease with follow-up until adulthood to evaluate the evolution of the disorder.

 

Methodology:

 

This is a retrospective, Cohort study, the patients were enrolled retrospectively via eligibility criteria of presented in the hospital within first month of life and diagnosed with unilateral MCDK. The data was entered and analyzed in Statistical package of social sciences version 22, mean and standard deviation were calculated for age, and years of MCDK diagnosis, for independent data frequencies, percentages, mean value, and standard deviation will be analyzed.

 

Results:

 

A total of 90 children were enrolled in the study for 15 years, the mean age at presentation was

93.2 ± 137.3 days, with 70 (77.8%) males and 20 (22.2%) female subjects.

 

While the mean size of MCDK was 6.2 ±1.2 cms on the right side & 5.4 ± 1.63 cms on the left side. Upon follow-up, the 07 (7.8%) children indicated an increase in MCDK size within < 1 year, within 2 years of age, within 4 years of age, and within 8 years.

 

Conclusion:

 

Studying 15 years of our MCDK patient records carried data subsidizing existing literature mostly positively encouraging non-operative administration of MCDK with regress follow-up and radiological investigations
