Complications
- Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJ)
- Recurrent infections occur because of urine stasis and associated vesicoureteral reflux.
- Nephrolithiasis related to UPJ obstruction or infection may occur.
- An increased risk of trauma to the isthmus exists because of its position anterior to the spine.
- Some evidence suggests an increased incidence of certain renal tumors in horseshoe kidney.
