*Potters Syndrome* Potters Syndrome is a rare disorder and a term used to describe the total absence or malformation of infant kidneys. A baby born with Bilateral Renal Agenesis (Potters Syndrome) is not compatible with neonatal survivial. This specific condition gets it's name fron Dr. Edith Potter. Her investigation concentrated only on total Renal-Agenesis. Since then this name has been extended to any condition where kidneys fail to develop fully. As a result of kidney absence no Amniotic fluid is produced. The medical term given to describe the lack of Amniotic fluid is called Oligohydramnios, thus unabling lungs of an infant to develop fully causing severe pulmonary hypoplasia , also related to are the characteristics features of an infant described as "Potters Facies", together with further fetal abnormalities which may occur.
In vast majority of cases it's an isolated abnormality in which case it's unlikely to happen again in the same family. Rate is between 1 in 2000 and 1and 5000 births. Statistically however once you have had a Potters baby the risk of a recurrence of some kind of kidney defect is 3%. In a few cases there may be abnormality of one kidney from either parent in which case the risk of recurrance is up to 10%. Rarest still is when there is a genetic link to Potters Syndrome where the risk will be as high as 1in 4 pregnancies.
There is no explanation as to why it occurs in the first place. It has not yet been discovered just what causes this Syndrome. We may never know seeing there is "No" research being done at this time!

Description: Potters Syndrome is the term used to describe the total absence or malformation of infant kidneys in combination with other congenital abnormalities, including Potter's facies, pulmonary hypoplasia, oligohydramnios, failure of foetal urinary production and skeletomuscular anomalies such as clubbing of the hands and feet and contractures. Oligohydramnios (deficiency of the amount of amniotic fluid) is the cause of failure of lung development and of limb compression in the foetus. Males are more commonly affected than females. The affected children are usually stillborn or die shortly after birth. Authors disagree whether inheritance is autosomal dominant recessive. Bibliography:

http://www.geocities.com/potters_syndrome
Potter's Syndrome is one of several serious or fatal kidney abnormalities.  In Potter's (or Potter) syndrome the baby's kidneys do not develop in the first few weeks of life in the womb.  The baby's kidneys are essential for the production of amniotic fluid in the womb.  If there are no kidneys, there is little or no amniotic fluid (this is known as oligohydramnios) to expand the womb around the baby and to allow the baby to grow and move.  The womb remains small and in its confined space the baby's lungs cannot develop properly.  Many babies with Potter's syndrome are stillborn.  In those who are born alive, the immediate cause of death is failure to breathe (respiratory failure) due to underdeveloped (hypoplastic) lungs, usually one or two days after delivery.  Even if this problem is treated the baby cannot survive without kidneys.  (Potter's syndrome is also known as Renal Agenesis, which simply means that the kidneys did not develop).     Potter's sequence is the name given to a condition which resembles Potter's syndrome in that although the baby has kidneys, there is little or no amniotic fluid (oligohydramnios).  This may sometimes be because the mothers waters have broken in mid-pregnancy, or due to developmental problems in the baby's kidneys or urinary system.  In Potter's sequence, as in Potter's syndrome, the baby's lungs are compressed and cannot develop properly.  The baby dies of respiratory failure within one or two days of delivery (subnote: although shorter and longer lifespans do exist).

We already had two healthy children Matthew (1984) and Naomi (1986), as it is a 1 in 4 chance of having further babies with the syndrome I suppose the fact that I lost 2 is normal.Still I have three brilliant children and will not forget Katie or Luke and their short time with us

You are in our thoughts
on this day and always!
Happy 3rd Birthday Janine,
We Love you!!
~Memorial Saying from Janine's Maternal Grandparents~
To our little Angel Janine,
You were only on this earth for such a short time
however, you live on forever in our hearts!
All of Our Love,
The Origin Behind Janine's Middle Name. I come from a family of all girls and my parents only have 2 grandchildren. One is a girl named Melissa and of course our Colin. When I found out I was pregnant I tried to think of a way to carry on my Dad's name in some form or another seeing that this would be the last chance to have a Grandchild named in his honor. So, when we found out the baby was going to be a girl we gave her the middle name of Bobbi, named after my Dad, Robert! Little one, little one Where have you gone? Your going has darkened The brightest dawn Why did you leave us So soon, so soon? Where can we look for you? Over the moon? On butterflies' wings In the heart of a rose? Who knows

Potter Sequence
Several entities use the eponym Potter: 1) Potter syndrome, now renamed either oligohydramnios sequence or bilateral renal agenesis (BRA)
depending on whether the cause of the syndrome (BRA) or the mechanism is referred to. 2) Potter syndrome Type I is now referred to as Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease 3) Potter syndrome Type II is now referred to as Renal dysplasia 4) Potter syndrome Type III is now referred to as Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease
WHAT IS THE KIDNEY FUNCTION IN THE BODY? All the body processes produce waste materials, which if allowed to accumulate could poison the body. Excretion is the process of cleaning this waste from the body, the skin excretes water and salt, the lungs excrete carbon- dioxide and water vapor, and the kidneys excretes urine. The kidneys are found at the back of the abdominal (or stomach) cavity in the region known as the small of the back. The normal adult kidney is about 7 cm wide and 12 cm long. A thin tube called the ureter connects the kidney with the bladder. Urine forms in the kidney and is passed down this tube into the bladder. The kidneys also receive blood from the heart which is full of oxygen in order to help the kidneys function and when this blood has been used it has to be passed back into the blood stream to be refilled with oxygen. The kidneys are composed of a vast network of tubes which are all vital to the proper function of each kidney. WHAT IS POTTERS SYNDROME?

11. Information About Potters Syndrome.
My son, Elliott had a rare, but fatal congenital condition called ‘Bilateral RenalAgenesis’, or to give it a more common name, ‘Potter’s Syndrome’.
http://www.angelelliott.dabsol.co.uk/page20.htm
Song Playing: Immortality My son, Elliott had a rare, but fatal congenital condition called ‘Bilateral Renal Agenesis’, or to give it a more common name, ‘Potter’s Syndrome’. This condition occurs where the baby’s renal system (i.e. kidneys and bladder and associated tubal connections and arteries) fail to develop at around day 31 of gestation. Failure of this development means that the baby cannot urinate to create extra amniotic fluid; fluid which is vital to the development of the baby’s lungs. Babies diagnosed with Potter’s Syndrome sadly die either during the birth or very shortly thereafter, the main cause of death being from ‘Pulmonary Hypoplasia’, i.e. underdeveloped lungs. Babies with this condition often appear to be of a normal weight and size for their gestation; this is because the placenta does all the filtering work in place of kidneys whilst the baby is in-utero. However, some Potter’s babies have features which are due to compression against the uterine wall because of the lack of fluid to ‘cushion‘ them as they grow; such as wide-set eyes, low-set ears, a recessed chin and flattened nose, ‘squashed’ facial appearance and/or torso, and talipes (clubbed feet). Fortunately, my son, Elliott, did not display any of these features, although it is all the more upsetting to me because he looked perfectly normal; a miniature version of his elder sister, Chloë.

Special Friends From The Forum At the Potters Syndrome Support Group, I have met many people who, sadly and most tragically, know only too well the devastation caused by the loss of a baby to Potters Syndrome. One of these people is Alison Hunt from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Already a Mummy to Zoe and Caileigh, Alison and her dear husband Pierre lost their son, Alex Fabien, to Potters Syndrome on August 28, 2002. Angel Alex Fabien When Alison entered the Potters Syndrome Support Group, I quickly posted replies to her, as I so badly knew just what she was going through, having just lost her only son. I remember only too well the wilderness in which David and I walked, dealing with our grief (or trying to) on our own, isolated and so very, very alone. I offered support, guidance and above all, much needed friendship. Alison and Pierre have embraced me with open arms and our friendship is one to last a lifetime. Friends from afar, we share one thing

Hi all,
I thought I had seen it all. There was the time I hatched the brilliant idea
to tumble stack my kiln so I could salt lightly without ruining my shelves.
Great idea except when I opened er up the 6 foot mass of pots had shrunk
down to about 2 feet. Nice effects but unloading with a crowbar wasn't what
I envisioned. 300 pots is a tough lesson in gravity. Then there was an
unloading last year when I removed a pot off the top shelf and watched in
horror as the top shelf shuddered and started the whole stack falling to the
left. I jerked to catch the stack dropping the pot I had in my hands- caught
the stack and sort of miraculously kept the domino effect at bay. I was
alone and studied for 10 minutes as best I could if there was anything I could do to permenently stop the impending crash. Sure- if I could just quickly ram a pot between the shelves and the kiln wall, my nightmare would end. You guessed it, the pile has its own kinetic ideas. The hand was slower

(In Memory of Angel Makayla Zayne Hogue) Our special friend cindy hogue Cindy with husband Denny Cindy and I first started to get to know each other through the 'Potters Syndrome Forum Support Group', (an online group for families struggling to cope after the 'loss' of their little babies from 'Potters Syndrome'), and through the websites that we each had in Memory of our Precious Angels... Cindy lives in 'Ohio' in the U.S.A and has been an inspiration to us here in England throughout the past 15 months since we lost our first born angel ~ 'Jack' ~ to Potters Syndrome and now the 'loss' of our new baby 'Samuel' to the same disease... Since then we have become so very close, although the distance saddens me so very much... Cindy has played a major part in our lives since losing our 'two little baby boys', and it has been her strength and love that has helped us through our everyday uphill struggle... Cindy is married to Denny and mum to 'Todd' and a Very Special Grandma to her First~Born, sweet Heavenly angel Grand~Daughter, 'Makayla Zayne'... Makayla was born on February 17th 1996 at 10.30am, yet heartbreakingly, Makayla had 'Potters Syndrome' too, and left for Heaven on the 18th February 1996 at 7.06pm... Cindy knows the pain of 'losing' a Grandchild to this devastating disease and also feeling the pain that her son Todd was experiencing, 'Makaylas Daddy'...
