Renal hypoplasia is defined as a subnormal growth of the kidney with a distinct cortex and medulla and is recognizable as a kidney. It is known that renal hypoplasia can induce hypertension by reduction of functioning nephron. Patients with reduced functioning renal mass by surgical or medical causes have a risk to develop hypertension. Patients with congenital reduction of functioning nephron have more frequently showed renal insufficiency. But renal hypoplasia induced hypertension is very rare and reported rarely in international literature. We report two cases of hypertension associated with congenital renal hypoplasia.

BACKGROUND: Although urinary incontinence is a common problem, its prevalence and severity in community is not well established. The main objects of this study were to define the prevalence in adult men and women who came to a primary care office for health care. METHODS: Men and women aged 20 years and over who came to family physician's offices seeking health care for any reason during an 2-week period were the subjects of a survey by anonymous questionnaire. Ten family practice offices in Cheonan Practice-Based Research Network participated. We defined "current significant urinary incontinence" as aver any degree of annoying incontinence in the past 12 months. RESULTS: Of the 1,130 responders, 46.3% experienced urinary incontinence. Incontinence was experienced by 26.7% of the men and 50.2% of the women. 'Current significant urinary incontinence' was experienced by 3.7% of the men and 10.12% of the women. CONCLUSIONS: Urinary incontinence is a common problem among those seen in primary care settings, and patients hesitate to seek cansultation of their problems with physicians. Therefore, family physicians should deal with the symptoms of incontinence more attentively during history taking.
