The clinical spectrum of congenital anomalies of the kidneys and urinary tract (CAKUT) includes common congenital malformations that have a significant impact on the future life of patients. The aim of the work was to determine changes in the structural organization of the kidneys of individuals of the І and ІІ generations in conditions of congenital pyelectasis complicated by pyelonephritis in the mother in childhood. The object of the study was medical history, ultrasoundnand X-ray findings of individuals of the І and ІІ generations with pyelectasis. The research methods were ultrasound examination, X-ray examination. In the study of three clinical cases, pyelectasis was observed in both the son and daughter, representatives of the ІІ generation. Both offspring were diagnosed with left-sided pyelectasis in utero, since the diameter of the renal pelvis was >7 mm after the 28th week of pregnancy. Comparison of the results of the study of two generations of patients with pyelectasis allowed us to establish that pyelectasis was diagnosed in the 1st generation at the age of 6 years, in the 2nd generation in utero; the mother had chronic pyelonephritis, and the child (daughter) had acute pyelonephritis; in the 1st generation, hypoplasia of the left kidney occurred as a result of chronic pyelonephritis; in the 2nd generation, no changes in the size of the kidneys were observed; in the 1st generation, the systemic nature of the disease was revealed, while in the 1st generation there were longer periods of remission; in both cases (in the mother and daughter) there was a significant increase in the amount of salts, the occurrence of urolithiasis; in the mother, the function of the left kidney was significantly impaired, in the daughter, the kidney function was moderately impaired, in the son, the functions of both kidneys were preserved. Thus, in the study of three clinical cases, changes in the anatomy of the kidney were observed in the І and ІІ generations, which led to pyelonephritis in two cases. In the ІІ generation, pyelectasis was detected intrauterine, which led to the occurrence of complications, in particular, vesico-pelvic reflux, urolithiasis and pyelonephritis. This study indicates the importance of medical examination and systematic monitoring of the condition of the organs, especially in cases where their developmental defects are inherent in the closest relatives.
