摘要

Unilateral kidney hypoplasia is a congenital condition characterized by the underdevelopment of one kidney. Although often asymptomatic, it can cause severe renal complications in patients combined with contralateral renal injury, leading to acute renal failure. This case report describes a patient with unilateral kidney hypoplasia who underwent a kidney biopsy on the contralateral normal-sized kidney and subsequently developed oliguric acute kidney injury. This report discusses the challenges encountered while diagnosing and managing this rare case, highlighting the importance of awareness and recognition to perform timely intervention and optimize the patient's outcome.
