Abstract:
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is an inherited, progressive systemic disorder with both renal and extra renal involvement. Commonest presentation is clusters of cysts in the kidney. About 75% develop end stage renal disease by 70 years of age. We present a case of 62-year-old hypertensive male presenting with massive abdominal distention diagnosed with large cysts replacing bilateral kidneys completely along with multiple liver cysts characteristic of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.
