Abstract

Purpose: We aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics and associated diseases in children with a horseshoe kidney and compared these data between children and adults. Method: We performed a retrospective analysis of the medical records and radiological findings of 43 patients diagnosed with a horseshoe kidney in the Busan Paik Hospital. The subjects were divided into the children's group (14 cases, age <18 years) and the adult group (29 cases, age ${\geq}18$ years). Results: The study group consisted of 17 males and 26 females with a median age of 34 years. In the children's group (14 cases), 5 subjects were male and 9 were female, with a mean age of $6.7{\pm}6.2$ years. Most of the subjects were asymptomatic and were incidentally diagnosed with horseshoe kidney during their evaluation for another disease. Among the associated diseases in the children's group, Turner syndrome was the most common (5 cases), whereas ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) stricture was observed in 2 cases (14.2%). None of the children exhibited abnormal renal function during the follow-up period. In the adult group (29 cases), 12 subjects were male and 17 were female, with a mean age of 48 years. Eighteen patients were incidentally diagnosed with horseshoe kidney during their evaluation for another disease, and 11 patients had hematuria or abdominal pain due to renal stones. Among the associated diseases in the adult group, Turner syndrome was the most common (5 cases), and UPJ stricture was observed in 5 cases; the other accompanying diseases included hydronephrosis and overactive bladder. Six patients exhibited decreased renal function (serum creatinine level >1.5) during the follow-up period. Conclusion: Horseshoe kidney is usually diagnosed incidentally in both children and adults. In the present study, we noted that Turner syndrome was the most common associated disease in children. In addition, most children were asymptomatic but had a high risk of urologic complications after the transition to adulthood. Therefore, children with horseshoe kidney require continuous follow-up.

목적: 마제신은 신장융합(renal fusion)을 가진 가장 흔한 신기형이다. 저자들은 단일병원에서 관찰된 마제신 환자들의 동반 질환을 포함한 임상적 특징을 조사하고자 하였다. 방법: 2000년 1월부터 2012년 12월까지 부산백병원에서 영상의학적 방법에 의해 마제신으로 진단된 환자 43명을 대상 (소아군 14례, 성인군 29례)으로 후향적으로 의무기록을 분석하였다. 또한 소아군과 성인군의 자료를 비교 분석하였다. 결과: 전체 환자의 진단당시의 평균 연령의 중간값은 34세이었고, 성별은 남자 17명 여자 26명 이었다. 소아군(<18세, 14명)의 평균연령은 $6.7{\pm}6.2$세, 남자가 5명이 있었다. 진단 시 혈뇨를 보인 1명을 제외한 대부분 동반 질환의 평가 도중 우연히 발견되었다. 동반된 질환으로는 터너증후군이 5례(36%)로 가장 많았고, 동반된 비뇨기계 기형으로는 2명(14.2%)에서 신우요관협착을 동반하였다. 신기능은 마지막 추적검사까지 모두 정상이었다. 성인군에서 진단된 29명의 진단 당시 연령 중간값은 48세이었고, 남자가 12명 여자 17명이 있었다. 진단 시 다른 질환의 평가 중 18명이 우연히 발견되었으며, 11명은 혈뇨 또는 결석으로 인한 복통 등이 있었다. 동반질환으로는 터너증후군이 5례로 가장 많았으며, 5명에서 신우요관협착이 동반되었고, 그 외 수신증, 과민성 방광 등을 동반하였다. 마지막 추적검사에서 6명(21%)에서 신기능감소(혈청Cr>1.5)가 관찰되었다. 결론: 마제신은 우연히 발견되는 경우가 대부분으로, 동반된 단일 질환으로는 터너증후군이 가장 많았다. 성인기로 이행 후 다양한 비뇨기과적 합병증의 위험이 높으므로 지속적인 추적 관찰이 필요하다.
