A Case of Ask-Upmark Kidney
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
The cardinal features of Ask-Upmark kidney include unilateral and, less commonly, bilateral segmental hypopla sia characterized by capsular grooves and decrease in the number of pyramids. The hypoplastic areas contain no glomeruli but have thyroid-like tubules and thick-walled arteries.
The association of hypertension with segmental renal hypoplasia was first described in 1929 by Ask-Upmark. Numberous subsequent reports have confirmed the high frequency of this relationship.
We have experienced a 18-year-old girl who had headache and dyspnea on exertion. We diagnosed AskUpmark kidney by renal angiography and made a brief review of related literature.
