Bilateral Renal Agenesis is not compatible in extrauterine life. Pulmonary hypoplasia develops in the absence of amniotic fluid, causing severe respiratory insufficiency at birth. Renal agenesis can result from the complete regression of a dysplastic kidney. It might be a unilateral or bilateral problem. A preexisting diabetic condition is linked to bilateral renal agenesis. The majority of instances of bilateral agenesis are sporadic. However, genetic variables have a role in pathogenesis, and multifactorial inheritance is a plausible explanation, exact manner of genetic inheritance is unclear. There have also been reports of X-linked, autosomal recessive, and autosomal dominant inheritance. Bilateral/unilateral renal agenesis, renal hypodysplasia (a reduction in the number of nephrons resulting to a small overall kidney size and frequent dysplasia with or without cysts), and multicy..
