With ureteral duplication, a child is born with two ureters coming from the same kidney. Some children with this abnormality have two entirely separate ureters coming from the same kidney (complete duplication). Others have two ureters that join together again before they get to the bladder (incomplete duplication).
Children with a duplex kidney (also called a duplicated collecting system) have two ureters coming from a single kidney. These two ureters can drain independently into the bladder or connect and drain as a single ureter into the bladder.
Duplex kidney, also known as duplicated ureters or duplicated collecting system, is the most common birth defect related to the urinary tract. This occurs due to an incomplete fusion of the upper and lower pole of the kidney which creates two separate drainage systems from the kidney.
Duplicated ureter is more common in women. Ureteral duplication is either partial, that is, the two ureters drain into the bladder via a single common ureter or complete in which two ureters drain separately. It can be associated with a variety of congenital genitourinary abnormalities.
Most of us are born with 2 ureters, the tube that drains the urine from each kidney into the bladder. But some babies are born with 2 ureters that drain a single kidney. In these cases, one ureter drains the upper part of the kidney and the second ureter drains the lower part of the kidney.
In complete duplication, each pelvis has an associated ureter that inserts independently into the bladder. In incomplete duplication, two pelves are present but share a single (bifid) ureter that inserts into the bladder but bifurcates at some point before reaching the two pelves.
Duplex kidney is a developmental condition in which one or both kidneys have two ureter tubes to drain urine, rather than a single tube. Duplex kidney, also called duplicated collecting system, occurs in about 1 percent of children and usually requires no medical treatment.
Two uretersTwo ureters. These narrow tubes carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder. Muscles in the ureter walls continually tighten and relax forcing urine downward, away from the kidneys.
Duplex kidneys are usually diagnosed with imaging tests, such as ultrasound, CT or MRI scans. However, if they are asymptomatic, they may not be noticed until adulthood.
Complete ureteral duplication is more rarely seen compared to single ureter or partial duplication. Patients with ureteral duplication may potentially have urinary stones, ureterocele, vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) and obstructive uropathy.
Double ureter is caused by abnormalities in the branching pattern of the ureteric bud. In the case of complete duplication, the ureteral bud arises twice, resulting in a double ureter with a double opening into the urinary bladder.
Duplex kidneys that are not causing problems do not require treatment. However, if they are causing symptoms and affecting the patient's health or quality of life, doctors may recommend one of the following: Nephrectomy – kidney removal.
Two uretersTwo ureters. These narrow tubes carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder. Muscles in the ureter walls continually tighten and relax forcing urine downward, away from the kidneys.
Yes, but men with kidney diseases may have a reduced sperm count and have difficulty fathering a child.
