Abdominal x-ray in an infant with renal failure shows a dense appearance of the kidneys. This dense nephrogram was caused by retention of contrast after an interventional procedure. A bilateral dense nephrogram can be caused by hypotension (related to sepsis or an allergic reaction to contrast). Other causes include renal artery stenosis, acute kidney injury, or urinary obstruction.](https://app.figure1.com/case-detail/0480e92c-a5c4-44b5-a88c-3568447f497c)

An image of the kidney after a retrograde pyelogram shows a filling defect (arrow) within the markedly dilated lower pole renal collecting system. The patient was diagnosed as megacalycosis, a nonobstructive dilation of the renal calyces. Megacalycosis typically affects one kidney. While this condition is associated with marked dilation of the calyces, there is often no dilation of the renal pelvis or ureter. Megacalycosis is associated with stone formation.](https://app.figure1.com/case-detail/1b877f86-a645-4ba8-890b-025692b904ae)
