More model informationThe above 3D model depicts an ectopic kidney. An ectopic kidney is a rare congenital kidney anomaly where the ectopic kidney is not located in its usual position. Ectopic kidneys are typically found in the pelvis, iliac, or low lumbar region as well as, as depicted in the above model, in the thorax where the kidney has ascended to a higher location through the diaphragm into the thoracic cavity. Ectopic kidneys are typically asymptomatic and found incidentally. Common associated symptoms patients suffer from are Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) and abdominal pain. Other problems that could arise are kidney stones, renal failure and vesicoureteral reflux (VUR).
This 3D model of an ectopic kidney was modelled in Zbrush.
