Duplex Kidney Anomalies and Associated Pathologies in Children: A Single-Center Retrospective Review

Abstract

Introduction: Duplex renal collecting systems are one of the most common congenital anomalies of the urinary tract. The exact prevalence of this anomaly is difficult to ascertain because most patients are asymptomatic, and the abnormality is frequently detected incidentally. The aim of this study is to retrospectively review the demographic characteristics and different clinical presentations, related pathology, and treatment methods of patients with duplex system anomaly who applied to our institution, with a literature review.
