Abstract

The incidence of UTUC in congenital pelvic kidneys is not statistically different from the kidneys located in the true retroperitoneum with very few reported cases. The incidence of UTUC in transplanted kidneys depends on the pre-existing risks of the donor and those acquired by the recipient. The majority of these cases are reported from the Balkan region and Southeast Asia due to consumption of aristolochic acid. We will review the current available literature data in this chapter.
