Abstract
Multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK) is a nonfunctioning kidney that does not undergo normal differentiation and therefore has immature-appearing renal parenchyma with cystic dilations. MCDK is often diagnosed on antenatal ultrasound, where MCDK is the second most common urinary tract abnormality after hydronephrosis. MCDK is almost always unilateral and slightly more frequent in boys and on the left side. MCDK is an uncommon entity with an incidence of 1 in 4,300 births. However, knowledge of MCDK is important for diagnosing and managing these children.
