That’s why I kept hemorrhaging.” Her voice was faraway as she mentally traveled back to that time. ”My body kept trying to abort it, but it couldn’t. Actually, I didn’t know this, because she never talked about the baby she lost. ”You know it had genetic abnormalities, too?” she said out of nowhere. I expected her to offer some insight about morning sickness or food cravings, but she changed the subject. We walked around a big curve in the road, and I thought about the poppy seed-sized embryo inside of me. “You forget the hard parts, so you can do it again.” NIH is the primary federal agency conducting and supporting basic, clinical, and translational medical research, and is investigating the causes, treatments, and cures for both common and rare diseases.As we walked under the canopy of brown and burnt orange leaves, I asked her questions about when she was pregnant with me: “How did you feel? What was it like? Did it hurt?” This was something I’d started doing about many different topics ― I sought out information I wanted to know from her and asked questions while she was still around to answer them.īut that morning, my mom didn’t have many answers about when she was pregnant with me. NIH, the nation's medical research agency, includes 27 Institutes and Centers and is a component of the U.S. For more information, visit About the National Institutes of Health (NIH): The Institute's research interests include: diabetes and other endocrine and metabolic diseases digestive diseases, nutrition, and obesity and kidney, urologic and hematologic diseases. The NIDDK, part of NIH, conducts and supports basic and clinical research and research training on some of the most common, severe and disabling conditions affecting Americans. The NKUDIC was created in 1987 to increase knowledge and understanding about diseases of the kidneys and urologic system among people with these conditions and their families, health care professionals and the general public. Publications also can be ordered by calling the NIDDK’s National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse (NKUDIC) at 1-80 or writing to the NKUDIC at 3 Information Way, Bethesda, MD 20892–3580. To order copies of the fact sheets, go to click on "Order Publications," then on "Kidney and Urologic Diseases Materials." The NIDDK produces fact sheets and booklets about a multitude of issues related to kidney and urologic functions. Links to the publications are available in the A to Z list of topics and titles at. The fact sheets, "Kidney Dysplasia" and "Medullary Sponge Kidney," explain signs and symptoms as well as diagnosis and treatment. MSK rarely leads to more serious problems, such as total kidney failure. While many people with MSK have no symptoms, problems such as blood in the urine, kidney stones and urinary tract infections could develop, but usually much later in life - around ages 30 to 40. Medullary sponge kidney (MSK) is a birth defect in which cysts form in the inner part of the kidney - or medulla - keeping urine from flowing freely through the kidney’s inner tubules. However, fetuses with dysplasia in both kidneys may not survive pregnancy and, if they do, they will need dialysis or a kidney transplant early in life.
Babies with just one working kidney can grow and develop normally with few health problems. Dysplasia usually occurs in only one kidney. Kidney dysplasia, which occurs during fetal development, is a condition in which the internal structures of one or both of the baby’s kidneys fail to develop normally. Two new fact sheets from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), part of the National Institutes of Health, explain two of these disorders: kidney dysplasia and medullary sponge kidney.
Kidney disorders can develop before a child is born.
