Polycystic liver disease [PDF]
BMJ Case Reports, 2014 A widespread use of ultrasound (US) examination is contributing to an increase in the diagnosis of renal and hepatic cysts. However, the vast majority of these lesions are benign with an indolent course during the patient's lifespan. Adult polycystic kidney disease (APKD) is one of the most common diagnosed entities.

Molecular Mechanisms of Isolated Polycystic Liver Diseases
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 Polycystic liver disease (PLD) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder including two genetically and clinically distinct forms: autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and isolated polycystic liver disease (PCLD).

Proliferation-Independent Initiation of Biliary Cysts in Polycystic Liver Diseases. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Biliary cysts in adult patients affected by polycystic liver disease are lined by cholangiocytes that proliferate, suggesting that initiation of cyst formation depends on proliferation.

Liver transplantation for polycystic liver disease [PDF]
Liver Transplantation, 2001 Polycystic liver disease (PLD) may provoke massive hepatomegaly and severe physical and social handicaps. Data on orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) for PLD are rare and conflicting. Conservative surgery (resection or fenestration) is indicated for large single cysts, but its value for small diffuse cysts is questionable ...

Vasopressin regulates the growth of the biliary epithelium in polycystic liver disease [PDF]
, 2016 The neurohypophysial hormone arginine vasopressin (AVP) acts by three distinct receptor subtypes: V1a, V1b, and V2. In the liver, AVP is involved in ureogenesis, glycogenolysis, neoglucogenesis and regeneration. No data exist about the presence of AVP in

Prenatal hyperandrogenism induces alterations that affect liver lipid metabolism [PDF]
, 2016 Prenatal hyperandrogenism is hypothesized as one of the main factors contributing to26 the development of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). PCOS patients have high risk27 of developing fatty liver and steatosis.

Increased expression of circulating miRNA-93 in women with polycystic ovary syndrome may represent a novel, non-invasive biomarker for diagnosis [PDF]
, 2015 MicroRNAs (miRNA) are a novel class of small noncoding single-stranded RNA molecules that regulate gene expression. There is increasing evidence of their importance in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The objective was to determine if miRNA-93 and miRNA-

Endocannabinoid receptor blockade increases hepatocyte growth factor and reduces insulin levels in obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome [PDF]
, 2016 There is evidence from animal and in-vitro studies that activation of the endocannabinoid system (EC) through cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB-1) is associated with liver injury, inflammation and hepatocellular carcinoma.1 Data suggests endogenous cannabinoids
