The incidence of horseshoe kidneys is between 1 in 300 and 1 in 1600. Horseshoe kidneys may be either transplanted into two recipients after division of the kidney, or used for en bloc transplantation into one recipient.
We report two cases of adult-to-child and child-to-adult transplantation of horseshoe kidneys. Embryology and associated abnormalities are outlined, and previous case reports reviewed.
One transplant was successful and one transplant failed due to an unrecognized C peptide deficiency.
Horseshoe kidneys are acceptable as donor organs in renal transplantation.
马蹄肾的发病率在300分之一至1600分之一之间。马蹄肾可在肾脏分离后移植给两名受者，或整块移植给一名受者。
我们报告了两例马蹄肾成人对儿童及儿童对成人移植的病例。概述了胚胎学及相关异常情况，并回顾了既往病例报告。
一例移植成功，另一例因未识别的C肽缺乏而失败。
马蹄肾可作为肾移植的供体器官。
