Abstract

Since the original description in 1929 by Ask-Upmark, the association of hypertension with congenital renal hypoplasis has been well established and there have been several reports. But there was no reported case in Korea. The diseases commonly recognized after the age of 10 years, although a single case report of Ask-Upmark kidney had been reported in a 13 month old boy, who may be the youngest. But our case is 3 month old boy, who was died because of renal failure inspite of adequate treament including peritoneal dialysis.
