Morphometric analysis of retroperitoneal organs in individuals with unilateral congenital renal agenesis and renal hypoplasia

Objective: Our aim was to determine the changing anatomy of the retroperitoneal organs in the Unilateral Congenital Renal Agenesis (UCRA) and Renal Hypoplasia (RH) groups and to investigate the presence of morphological biomarkers by evaluating the functional capacity of the kidney in the patient groups. Methodology: The study was conducted retrospectively at Istanbul Dr. Lütfi Kırdar City Hospital, in collaboration with the Departments of Radiology, Nephrology and Anatomy. CT images of individuals with UCRA and RH followed in the nephrology clinic were retrospectively reviewed and anatomical-topographic evaluations were performed. Biomarkers indicating renal function were obtained from laboratory test results. Statistical significance was accepted as p
