title: [Renal malformations in the authors' community. General considerations].
abstract: The aim of this work was to study kidney malformations in infants. For this purpose, a study team was formed with two principal goals: to study the anatomic and histologic aspects, and then to correlate them to familial and clinical characteristics as well as to radiologic and echographic studies. We studied 129 cases of kidney malformations found during a study of 4,800 necropsies that had been carried out on infants, as well as of nephrectomized kidneys and biopsy samples. As a result of this study, we have compiled a mixed criteria (anatomic and clinical) classification of kidney malformations, complete with a glossary of equivalent terms to denominate different types of kidney malformations which have been called by a wide variety of nomenclatures in the bibliography.
