Unilateral Renal Hypoplasia
1. Severe Defect in
Nephron Number
   Unilateral hypoplasia=
1% of the population.
   Perhaps asymmetries
seen by ultrasound of our
patients in the hospital
are more subtle forms of
unilateral hypoplasia.
2.  Bilateral disease=
functional for 5-10yrs;
then constitutes 20% of
the juvenile population on
dialysis.
