WCN26-8799 PRELIMINARY REVIEW OF CAKUT OTHER THAN POSTERIOR URETHRAL VALVES SEEN IN CHILDREN IN A TERTIARY HOSPITAL IN SOUTHWEST NIGERIA

Abstract

Congenital anomalies of the kidneys and urinary Tract (CAKUT)are an important cause of morbidity and mortality among children globally. CAKUT is also the leading cause of end-stage kidney disease among children globally. There is limited information on CAKUT among children in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa, and this is worse regarding forms of CAKUT presentation other than posterior urethral valves. Data on CAKUT in low resource settings is critical for the designing strategies for early diagnosis, management and evaluation of outcomes.
