Objectives: After studying the article entitled “Horseshoe Kidney in Conjunction With Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease: A Case Report,” you will be able to:
Explain renal development from embryologically and beyond
Identify the sonographic appearance of horseshoe kidneys as well as autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD)
Explain the criteria utilized to diagnose ADPKD in patients with PKD1 mutation sonographically
During which weeks do the kidneys start to ascend and rotate to their permanent abdominal position? 3–6 weeks 6–9 weeks 9–10 weeks 10–13 weeks
Which of the following is the most common complication associated with ADPKD? Diabetes Hypertension Nephrolithiasis Urinary tract infections
How is ADPKD monitored clinically? A1C levels and glomerular filtration rates Blood urea nitrogen and glomerular filtration rates Serial serum creatinine and A1C levels Serial serum creatinine levels and glomerular filtration rates
Which congenital renal anomaly can be confused for horseshoe kidney? Multicystic dysplastic kidneys Crossed fused renal ectopia Fused supernumerary kidneys Renal hypoplasia
Utilizing Ravine’s standards, which of the following patients with the PKD1 mutation would meet the criteria for an ADPKD diagnosis? 25-year-old patient with a positive family history and the presence of two cysts in a single kidney 15-year-old with a positive family history and the presence of one cyst in each kidney 65-year-old patient with a negative family history and a total of eight renal cysts 44-year-old patient with a negative family history and a total of four renal cysts
