Genetic etiologies (ARPKD, ADPKD, BBS, HNF1B-related disorder, Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, tubular dysgenesis, familial nephroblastoma, and cytogenetic abnormalities) account for approximately half of prenatally isolated HEK; once excluded there are few neonatal deaths and short-term renal outcomes may be normal. There remains a paucity of knowledge about long-term renal outcomes.
