hchairstonThere are no calculi in the image. The image shows a dilated ureter, you know it's a ureter because there is an opening into the hilum of the kidney.+2
prosopagnosiaPersonally, I couldn't tell that the ureter was dilated without a comparison image. But what I did notice was the dilation of the renal calyces and severe renal atrophy which clued me into some ureteric obstruction --> Hydronephrosis. +1
trazoboneOK so I put ARPKD bc of chronic renal insufficiency and also i thought the dilated parts were cysts +3
shieldmaidenRemember that for ARPKD both kidneys will be affected and it will involve the cortex as well as the medulla. If you notice, the cortex is intact+4
taylor5479Also, it's my understanding that ARPKD typically presents much younger with a lot of really small cysts, kind of with a spongelike appearance. +

Anyone know why this was Hydronephrosis and not Staghorn Calculus??
