Polycystic Disease of the Liver
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1971Polycystic liver disease usually presents as a benign progressive hepatomegaly, the true characteristic of which is found during surgical exploration or at postmortem examination. Liver function tests, biopsies, and scans are of little value diagnostically.

Genetics of polycystic liver diseases
Current Opinion in Gastroenterology, 2019This review provides an outline of the most recent insights and significant discoveries regarding the genetic mechanisms involved in polycystic liver disease.Polycystic liver disease includes a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders characterized by multiple hepatic cysts. Isolated liver cysts are caused by mutations in Protein Kinase C Substrate 80K-

Polycystic Kidney/Liver Disease
Clinics in Liver Disease, 2022Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a genetic disorder that leads to chronic kidney disease and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Polycystic liver disease (PCLD) is the most common extrarenal manifestation of ADPKD. Though isolated PCLD and PCLD due to ADPKD are genetically distinct, they follow a similar clinical course of ...

Polycystic liver disease is a rare disease, manifesting with progressive bile duct enlargement and development of multiple cysts of various sizes in the liver. While it can be regarded as a hereditary disease, with either autosomal dominant transmission or autosomal recessive transmission, only about 20% of patients have been identified to have genetic

Abstract The term ‘Polycystic liver disease’ (PLO) is often used to describe a condition with numerous cysts scattered throughout the liver parenchyma (Poinso et al. 1954; Melnick 1955; Peltokallio 1970; Sanfelippo et al. 1974; Vauthey et al. 1991).

Journal of Diagnostic Medical Sonography, 2004
As sonographic resolution capabilities improve and more abdominal sonograms are requested, diagnosis of polycystic liver disease (PLD) is on the increase. At first glance, the numerous liver cysts caused by PLD can be alarming. However, the disease is usually asymptomatic, and lab tests are generally within normal ranges.

The Gallbladder in Polycystic Liver Disease
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1981Polycystic disease of the liver may clinically mimic diseases of the gallbladder. The presence of extrinsic masses deforming the gallbladder on oral cholecystography or intravenous cholangiography, especially in patients with a previous history of polycystic kidney disease, should suggest the correct diagnosis.

Management of polycystic liver disease
Current Gastroenterology Reports, 2005The adult forms of polycystic liver disease are characterized by autosomal dominant inheritance and numerous hepatic cysts, with or without renal involvement. Mutations in two distinct genes predispose to renal and liver cysts (PKD1 and PKD2), and mutations in two different genes yield isolated liver cysts (PRKCSH and SEC63).

A novel twist in polycystic liver disease
Gut, 2014Liver cysts are a frequent finding on radiological imaging. Prevalence rates depend on the technique, but with CT or MRI, simple hepatic cysts are seen in approximately one-fifth of the population.1 Usually no more than one or two small (
