This document discusses congenital malformations of the kidney. It is divided into three sections: abnormalities in renal tissue amount, anomalies in position and shape, and cystic diseases. Cystic diseases are further classified as multicystic renal dysplasia and polycystic kidney disease. Polycystic kidney disease occurs in two forms - an adult autosomal dominant form and a rare infantile autosomal recessive form. The adult form typically manifests between ages 30-50 with back pain, bleeding, infections and hypertension, while the infantile form causes renal failure in early childhood.
