Abstract
J Kidney ISSN: Jok an open access journal Volume 1 • Issue 1 • 1000i101 We present magnetic resonance images of a 59-year-old Caucasian woman with stage 4 chronic kidney disease in a course of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), and polycystic liver disease (PLD) with a dominant cysts leading to the mass effect (Figure 1). Laparoscopic fenestration of the largest cyst was done with uneventful follow-up.
Highlights
We present magnetic resonance images of a 59-year-old Caucasian woman with stage 4 chronic kidney disease in a course of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), and polycystic liver disease (PLD) with a dominant cysts leading to the mass effect (Figure 1)
PLD is defined as a liver containing above 20 cysts
Treatment options include (1) medical approach, with somatostatin analogues, or proliferation signal inhibitors, (2) interventional radiology, with arterial embolization, or percutaneous sclerotherapy, and (3) surgical intervention, with fenestration, hepatic resection, or liver transplantation in the most severe cases [2,3]
