[Clinical and morphological characteristics of renal hypoplasia in children].

The course of the disease was studied in children with renal hypoplasia on the basis of the results of clinical observations and analysis of autopsy protocols. The data of clinical observations of 236 children aged 0 to 15 years were analyzed. Complications and cause of death were assessed; concomitant malformations were analyzed with consideration for pathoanatomic findings. The results indicated that diverse hypoplastic malformations were in other organs and systems. The spectrum and location of congenital malformations were various. Bilateral involvement was most common in died children. There is a high rate of congenital malformations in the small pelvis and chest of these patients. The degree of renal dysfunction much varies in children with renal hypoplasia.
