Acquired cystic kidney disease
Updates to Article Attributes
Acquired cystic kidney disease (ACKD) is developsa condition that may be observed in those patients with end-stage kidney disease is strongly associated with long term haemodialysis(ESKD), especially patients on dialysis treatment, and who not have a history of hereditary cystic disease.
Epidemiology
- content pending
Clinical presentation
Cyst haemorrhage may cause flank pain and haematuria 2.
Pathology
Diagnositc criteria include 3-5 cysts in patients with chronic renal failure.content pending
Radiographic features
Classical imaging features include small renal cysts, occurring in both the cortex and medulla, which are found bilaterally, with both kidneys typically being small in size (refer on chronic kidney disease (CKD) article for a broad discussion on its correlated imaging findings).
Diagnostic criteria include 3-5 cysts in patients with chronic renal failure.
Complications include:
- haemorrhage into cysts, which occurs occasionally
- development of renal cell carcinoma, which occurs in approximately 7%
.- imaging screening is advised for those patients 4,5
History and etymology
ACKD was first described in 1977 by M. S. Dunnil et al. 4,5
