A Retrospective Analysis of Female Müllerian Duct Anomalies in Association With Congenital Renal Abnormalities

Study objectiveMüllerian (paramesonephric) duct anomalies (MDAs) are associated with several coexisting congenital abnormalities, including renal abnormalities. Although abnormalities may remain asymptomatic, the consequences should not be underestimated. In both literature and clinical practice, it remains necessary to improve awareness of co-occurrence different in women MDAs. To gain further insight into this estimate whether guidelines for MDAs optimized, study was performed.DesignA descriptive retrospective analysis.SettingUniversity Medical Centre Utrecht Netherlands.ParticipantsWomen diagnosed or treated between 1980 2015.InterventionsNone.Main outcome measuresThe prevalence MDAs.ResultsRenal status recorded 186 255 (72.9%), other (27.1%) did have a retrievable status.

However, also highlight there lack association. Whether all requires investigation.
