Abstract:
Kidney enlargement in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) can cause symptoms of abdominal compression and nutritional deterioration. Renal transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) is typically performed bilaterally for kidney volume reduction in patients with ADPKD undergoing hemodialysis. We report the case of a 61-year-old woman with ADPKD who developed abdominal distension and poor appetite after initiating peritoneal dialysis (PD). Unilateral renal TAE was performed to relieve compression symptoms and preserve the renal function, resulting in a 60% reduction in the left kidney volume, symptom relief, an improved nutritional status, and the continuation of PD. Unilateral renal TAE may be an effective therapeutic option in patients with ADPKD who have selected PD.

Acute kidney injury develops suddenly and can be caused by pre-renal causes (e.g., hypovolemia, shock), intrinsic renal causes (e.g., acute tubular necrosis), or post-renal causes (e.g., urinary obstruction). In contrast, chronic renal failure progresses gradually over time and is often...
