| Abstrakt: | Multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK) is a congenital renal disease characterized by variable-sized noncommunicative cysts, impeding parenchymal development and functionality. Renal capabilities are relative to the functionality of the contralateral kidney and response to management. Unilateral and isolated cases are often asymptomatic with more positive outcomes, while severe bilateral derangements have a high mortality rate. We present a case of left-sided MCDK and right-sided renal dysplasia diagnosed at a nontertiary center. In addition, we offer a review of the epidemiology, epigenetics, and pathophysiology of MCDK. A concise discussion of prenatal, intrapartum, and postnatal renal function surveillance methods is presented to assist neonatal healthcare providers in collaborating with pediatric nephrology and urology specialists.
