Should we screen for Müllerian anomalies following diagnosis of a congenital renal anomaly?

In this study, 38% of patients with RA who underwent a pelvic evaluation were found to also have MA. Our study shows the strongest association between MA and solitary kidney, but also emphasizes a significant risk with other RA. Almost 40% of patients with diagnosed MA were found to have an obstruction that required urgent treatment. Delays in diagnosis and treatment of Müllerian obstructions can be detrimental for future reproductive health, due to risk of chronic pain, infertility, infection, and endometriosis. Given the high prevalence of MA in patients with RA, especially those with congenital solitary kidney, routine screening with pelvic ultrasound should be performed around the age of expected menarche.
