Cystic kidney diseases, also cystic renal diseases, are a group of medical kidney diseases characterized by multiple cysts.
Renal neoplasms, e.g. renal cell carcinoma, may be cystic. They are dealt with in kidney tumours.
Overview
- Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).
- Adult-onset medullary cystic disease.
- Acquired renal cystic disease.
- Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD).
- Medullary sponge kidney.
- Nephronophthisis.
- Cystic renal cell carcinoma.
Specific diseases
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease
- Abbreviated ADPKD.
General
Etiology
- Mutation in PKD1 gene or PKD2 gene.
- Is classified in a large group of diseases - ciliopathies.
PKD1 related disease:[1]
- Encodes polycystin.
- Death at ~53 years.
- Assoc. with cerebral aneurysms.
PKD2 related disease:[1]
- Death at ~69 years.
- Assoc. with colonic diverticula, aortic aneurysm, mitral valve prolapse.
Liver cysts and PKD
General
Features:
- Most common extra-renal manifestation of PKD; dependent on age, sex and renal function:[2]
- Age dependence:
- 10-17% <40 years old have liver cysts.
- 70-75% >60 years old have liver cysts.
- Renal function:
- 60-70% of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and near-ESRD.
- Females more often affected.
- Age dependence:
- Hepatic function usu. preserved.
Complications:[1]
- Infected cyst.
- Cholangiocarcinoma.
Microscopic
Features:
- Von Meyenburg complexes:
- Cluster of dilated ducts with "altered" bile.
- Surrounded by collagenous stroma.
See: Medical liver disease.
Gross
Features:
- Thin walled cysts.
- Number of cysts:
- If you can count 'em it favours acquired renal cystic disease... if you can't it favours the genetic condition.
- Number of cysts:
Microscopic
Features:[3]
- Cysts lined by simple flattened epithelium.
- Normal renal tubules interspersed between cysts.
- +/-Fibrosis (late-stage).
DDx:
- Acquired renal cystic disease - rarely.[4]
- Morphologically similar to acquired renal cystic disease.[5]
Acquired renal cystic disease
General
- Thought to arise due to uremia,[6] not specific to the type of renal dialysis, i.e. hemodialysis vs. peritoneal dialysis.
- Presence of cysts dependent on duration of dialysis:[6]
- < 3 years ~44%.
- >4 years ~80%.
- >10 years ~90%.
- Associated with renal cell carcinoma (papillary subtype).[7]
Microscopic
Features:[4]
- Cysts - location: cortex and medulla.
- Lined by simple flattened epithelium.
