| A miniature replica of a kidney: | Hypoplastic Kidney |
| An acquired condition that occurs when one kidney is required to do the job of two. | Compensatory Hypertrophy |
| Where a kidney is not located in the normal position: | Ectopic Kidney |
| A condition where the kidneys are fused at their lower poles: | Horseshoe Kidney |
| This is the most common type of kidney fusion: | Horseshoe Kidney |
| A cystic dilation of the distal ureter near its insertion into the urinary bladder: | Ureterocele |
| 2 of the most common renal conditions found in children: | Ureterocele and Ureteral Duplication |
