Cover Story: The purpose of this study was to assess multi cystic dysplastic kidneys (MCDK) in 80 children, their complications and associated congenital genitourinary anomalies. In total, 43.8% of the children had associated congenital genitourinary anomalies, most commonly, cryptorchidism and vesicoureteral reflux. All of them had normal kidney function except one child with dysplasia of the contralateral kidney. None of them had hypertension. Urinalysis was normal in 90% of children. We observed the spontaneous involution of MCDK in 38.8% of children. Nephrectomy was performed in 12.5% of them. In conclusion, children with a unilateral MCDK have a very good prognosis if the contralateral kidney is normal. Cryptorchidism was found to be the most common associated anomaly among boys, which is unique for this study. View this paper
