Case report reveals survival of an infant with bilateral renal agenesis without prenatal treatment, highlighting multidisciplinary care importance.
Bilateral renal agenesis (BRA) is typically considered a lethal condition due to severe pulmonary hypoplasia caused by early-onset anhydramnios. We report the case of a male infant who survived without prenatal intervention, underwent complex postnatal nephrological and surgical management, and ultimately received a successful renal transplant. This case highlights the exceptional possibility of survival of a patient with BRA and underscores the importance of multidisciplinary care.
