To know the percentages of incidences of various types of congenital anomalies of the renal system, an observational study was conducted at Departments of Anatomy of three medical colleges by dissection method and observation was made on dissected specimens for the presence of morphological anomalies in kidneys and the anatomical locations of kidneys and ureters. We found various types of renal anomalies like agenesis of kidney, nodular kidney and constricted (small) kidney location, ectopic kidneys bilateral polycystic kidneys.
Conclusion: Various abnormalities were found in this study and so, knowledge of such anomalies of kidneys not only to anatomists but to all clinicians especially to urologists and nephrologists and radiologists.
