Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a rare genetic disease. Diagnosis of ADPKD is usually made by the number of renal cysts on the ultrasound for each age category. There are two types of ADPKD, and the patients with the second type have later onset of symptoms, with slower disease progression than in the first type. These patients are typically at risk of recurrent urinary tract infections, hemorrhage and rupture of cysts, end-stage renal disease, calculi, liver/pancreatic cysts, and brain aneurysm development.
