Cystic disorders can present during infancy, childhood, or adulthood. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Dysostosis

  Ischiospinal dysostosis (ISD) is a recently described entity characterized by ischial hypoplasia and spinal segmental anomalies. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Plethora

  Most of these diseases are rare, and interpreting the resultant plethora of disease-causing mutations requires a methodical and meticulous approach to differential diagnosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Cheyne-Stokes Respiration

  He was admitted at that age because of progressive respiratory problems, with Cheyne-Stokes respiration and bilateral vocal cord paralysis. Terminal renal failure with cystic renal disease was diagnosed at the age of 14 years. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Anosmia

  The clinical features associated with cilia dysfunction can include such phenotypes as polycystic kidneys, skeletal abnormalities, blindness, anosmia, and obesity. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Abdominal Pain

  A patient with end-stage renal disease on maintenance hemodialysis developed sudden severe abdominal pain and distension. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The patient reported nausea, vomiting, severe abdominal pain, and loose stools. [revistanefrologia.com]

• Abdominal Mass

  The most common mode of presentation was abdominal pain followed by hypertension, urinary tract infection, chronic renal failure and palpable abdominal mass, in decreasing order. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The condition is usually found during a prenatal ultrasound or when a doctor discovers an abdominal mass during a routine physical examination. The diagnosis of multicystic dysplastic kidney is usually made with an ultrasound examination. [nationwidechildrens.org]

  masses; presents as flank mass or pyelonephritis In bilateral disease, neonates may also display oligohydramnios and pulmonary hypoplasia If blastema present, patient is at a slightly higher risk for Wilms tumor Segmental dysplasia is seen in children [pathologyoutlines.com]

  masses that are not tender to touch Ultrasound Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease ( ARPKD ) Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease ( ADPKD ) In adults: enlarged kidneys with multiple cysts of varying sizes ( anechoic masses) In children [amboss.com]

• Subcutaneous Nodule

  The patient presented with a subcutaneous nodule, which led to discovery of a large primary tumor in the left kidney. ACKD was present in the atrophic right kidney. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Hematuria

  […] hemodialysis for less than 3 years only (14 months prior to receiving a functional renal transplant which lasted 8 years, followed by 18 additional months of dialysis), before the diagnosis of ACKD was made following an episode of flank pain with gross hematuria [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Hematuria is also managed conservatively with bedrest and intravenous hydration, and most episodes of hematuria are self-limiting and last 2 to 7 days. [mdedge.com]

Standard workup includes Bosniak classification with contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, these tests are costly and not without risks. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Therefore, ultrasound is the very first diagnostic tool and will guide further diagnostic workup with additional imaging studies or genetic testing. [link.springer.com]

The presentation and workup in patients with renal cysts varies with the underlying disease. Treatment is aimed at symptom control. In general, therapy is reserved for pain, hypertension, infection, renal salt wasting, and nephrolithiasis. [emedicine.medscape.com]

• Renal Biopsy showing Juxtaglomerular Hyperplasia

  Renal biopsy showed juxtaglomerular hyperplasia, heavy subintimal deposits and C3 and IgG in preglomerular arteriolar walls, and degenerative changes in the tubules, including loss of brush border and "macula densa-like" lesions. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

AH was defined as systolic blood pressure or 150 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure or 90 mmHg and/or antihypertensive treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment for cystic kidney disease There is no cure for any of the three cystic kidney diseases. Medical treatment aims to manage symptoms and reduce the risk of complications. [betterhealth.vic.gov.au]

Unilateral renal cystic disease with an ipsilateral non-functional kidney and an atretic pelvicalyceal system is a very rare condition that needs to be distinguished from multicystic dysplastic kidney in order to guide management and set prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis is highly unpredictable due to an inability to quantify residual functional parenchyma. Treatment is surgical correction of any associated GU abnormalities and, if renal insufficiency or renal failure is present, renal replacement therapy . [msdmanuals.com]
