Overview
CT scan
- CT scan is more sensitive than ultrasonography in detecting cysts of smaller size[1]
- Because of cost effectiveness, it is not routinely used for diagnosing and detecting polycystic kidney disease
- However, it can be used for detecting cysts in children with the autosomal recessive type of polycystic kidney disease.
Autosomal dominant form
- Multiple, variably sized cortical and medullary based cysts
- Renomegaly
- Hemorrhagic cysts are often present
Patient #1
Patient #2
Patient #3
Patient #4
