October 13th, 2009. 1  Has anyone looked into the ph balance connection - ie. we are all probably very acidic (around 4 or 5) on the ph scale rather than what is considered normal (7). According to the books I've read on the subject, dark, green, leafy vegetables seem to be the only way to get alkaline again.
Pathophysiology. Intestinal malrotation occurs due to disruption of the normal embryologic development of the bowel. Understanding of normal abdominal development aids in the understanding of the etiology of the clinical findings seen with malrotation. The alimentary tract develops from the embryologic foregut, midgut, and hindgut.
Before birth, the kidneys normally pass through a complex series of developmental steps when they change position and orientation. Malrotated kidneys occur when these steps do not occur in the usual way so the kidney ends up in an abnormal position, orientation, or both. Malrotated kidneys are generally easily diagnosed by sonogram. Often, kidney malrotation is found in an otherwise healthy infant or child, sometimes noticed on a prenatal (before birth) sonogram, and may not have any impact on health.
