  • Exclude obstructive causes through renal ultrasound and diuretic renography 1.
  • Genetic testing may be indicated if syndromic features are present 1.

    • Management

  • No specific drug treatments are mentioned in the provided abstracts 1.
  • Surgical intervention may be required for suspected obstructive causes or complications 1.
  • Regular monitoring with imaging to assess kidney growth and function 1.

    • Special Populations

    • Key Recommendations

  • Utilize imaging studies (ultrasound, MRI) for diagnosis and monitoring of congenital enlarged kidney 1. (Evidence: Moderate)
