}} The absence of one (unilateral) or both (bilateral) kidneys at birth.

Bilateral renal agenesis

Bilateral renal agenesis is uncommon and is a serious condition. See Potter syndrome.

Unilateral renal agenesis

This is much more common, but is not usually of any major concern, as long as the other kidney is healthy.
