'''Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease''', abbreviated '''ADPKD''', is a common genetic cause of [[chronic renal failure]].
 
==General==
===Etiology===
*Mutation in ''PKD1'' gene or ''PKD2'' gene.
*Is classified in a large group of diseases - ''ciliopathies''.
 
PKD1 related disease:<ref name=Ref_MacSween174-5>{{Ref MacSween|174-5}}</ref>
*Encodes polycystin.
*Death at ~53 years.
*Assoc. with cerebral aneurysms.
 
PKD2 related disease:<ref name=Ref_MacSween174-5>{{Ref MacSween|174-5}}</ref>
*Death at ~69 years.
*Associated 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:<ref name=pmid9186898>{{cite journal |author=Perrone RD |title=Extrarenal manifestations of ADPKD |journal=Kidney Int. |volume=51 |issue=6 |pages=2022–36 |year=1997 |month=June |pmid=9186898 |doi= |url=http://www.nature.com/ki/journal/v51/n6/pdf/ki1997276a.pdf}}</ref>
**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.
*Hepatic function usu. preserved.
 
Complications:<ref name=Ref_MacSween174-5>{{Ref MacSween|174-5}}</ref>
#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.
 
==Microscopic==
Features:<ref name=Ref_DARP426>{{Ref DARP|426}}</ref>
*Cysts lined by simple flattened epithelium.
*Normal renal tubules interspersed between cysts.
*+/-Fibrosis (late-stage).
