Polycystic Kidney Disease

2011
A 42-year-old woman presented for additional evaluation of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). She was initially diagnosed with ADPKD at age 36 after developing fever and flank pain. At that time, ultrasonography showed bilateral renal cysts, and liver and ovarian cysts. The serum creatinine level was normal.
