Q60-Q64: Congenital malformations of the urinary system
Q64: Other congenital malformations of urinary system
The group of conditions categorized as "other congenital malformations of the urinary system" refers to a variety of developmental disorders observed in the urinary system, which includes the kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra, from birth. These malformations are usually caused by genetic factors or environmental influences during fetal development. Common malformations include abnormalities in the size, shape, or position of the kidneys, issues with the formation or function of the bladder, and improper development of the ureters or urethra. Symptoms can vary greatly depending on the type of malformation, but may include frequent urinary tract infections, incontinence, blood in the urine, or lower back pain. In some cases, these conditions may progress and lead to kidney damage if not monitored and managed effectively.
