Abstract

Cystic and developmental diseases of the kidney encompass a vast number of complex entities that may be renal-limited or part of a multiorgan malformation sequence. They also may be sporadic, hereditary and syndromic, or acquired, and may be associated with a neoplastic diathesis. In the past few decades, there has been enormous progress in unraveling the pathogenesis of many of these entities, and their genetic and molecular basis. There is a heterogeneous group of diseases resulting from mutation of one or more key master genes crucial to the proper development of the kidneys and lower urinary tract. Collectively, these are referred to as congenital anomalies of the kidneys and urinary tract (CAKUT). CAKUT lesions are common. They occur in approximately 10 % of the population and account for up to 50 % of renal failure in children.
