Acquired cystic disease of the kidney (abbreviated ACDK), also acquired cystic disease, is a benign change of the kidney seen in chronic renal failure.

Acquired renal cystic disease and acquired cystic renal disease redirect here.

General

  • Thought to arise due to uremia,[1] not specific to the type of renal dialysis, i.e. hemodialysis vs. peritoneal dialysis.
  • Presence of cysts dependent on duration of dialysis:[1]
    • < 3 years ~44%.
    • >4 years ~80%.
    • >10 years ~90%.
  • Associated with renal cell carcinoma - specifically acquired cystic disease-associated renal cell carcinoma.[2]

Microscopic

Features:[3]

  • Cysts - location: cortex and medulla.
    • Lined by simple flattened epithelium.
