ICD-11 code : LB30.62;
Preferred Label : Horseshoe kidney;
ICD-11 definition : Horseshoe kidney is the most frequent renal fusion anomaly and is characterised by
the union of the inferior poles of the two kidneys through an isthmus. Horseshoe kidney
is in fact an anatomical anomaly rather than a disease, but it does lead to predisposition
to certain conditions such as hydronephrosis, nephrolithiasis or pyelonephritis. One
third of individuals with horseshoe kidney are asymptomatic, with the anomaly being
discovered fortuitously during a radiological examination. Urogenital or renal vessel
anomalies may be associated with the condition. For cases requiring treatment, various
therapeutic approaches are available and choice of treatment depends on the associated
pathology.;
