dc.description.abstract | The assessment of posture and asymmetries is common in musculoskeletal clinical practice,
and correction is a frequent goal. In this setting, posture and asymmetries are usually interpreted in
terms of musculoskeletal issues. This study aimed to evaluate spinal asymmetries in case studies
of unilateral nephroptosis. A systematic review was performed using PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus
and Web of Science. We included case reports and case series of nephroptotic patients which showed
diagnostic imaging that allowed us to assess the presence of spinal asymmetries in the frontal plane.
The methodological quality of the selected studies was assessed by using Case Report (CARE)
checklist. Nineteen studies were included, with a total number of 78 reported patients (69 women)
ranging 22 to 44 years old (mean: 29). Only one patient presented with medial nephroptosis, while
the rest presented with caudal migration. Ninety-one percent of the cases affected to the right
kidney. All cases but two showed homolateral flank closure (lower rib descent, iliac crest raise
and/or homolateral side-bending). The correction of nephroptosis, either by supine position or
surgical treatment, removed asymmetries in some cases while other cases improved only partly.
Manual therapists must consider visceral implications while assessing body posture. Further, since
the most common symptom of nephroptosis is loin pain, and it has been claimed that loin pain is
underdiagnosed, manual therapists should consider its potential presence during clinical practice.
Finally, being that nephroptosis shares several features with idiopathic lumbar scoliosis (type of
patient, postural adaptation), more research is needed regarding any possible relation between them. | es |
