In twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), the disparity in circulation is reflected in discordant fetal growth, urine output, and amniotic fluid accumulation. The effect of uneven shunting of the growth factor and nutrient-rich vasculature on development and differentiation of the kidney has not been well studied.
