    Journal: J Urol; 2000 Aug; 164(2):472-3;discussion 473-4. PubMed ID: 10893625.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: The results of nephrectomy for hypertension in 4 children with unilateral multicystic dysplastic kidney are presented. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The records of 3 boys and 1 girl 4 months to 4 years old with multicystic kidney and documented systolic hypertension leading to nephrectomy were reviewed. RESULTS: Blood pressure normalized after surgery in 2 patients and remained persistently elevated in the other 2. CONCLUSIONS: Children with multicystic dysplastic kidney should be screened for hypertension. Nephrectomy resolves hypertension in some patients with multicystic kidney.
