• Asymptomatic

  Although most patients with ACKD are asymptomatic, the condition can be complicated by renal cell carcinoma. Routine surveillance should therefore be considered in at-risk populations. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Sometimes a nuclear scan is required to differentiate a multicystic dysplastic kidney from a blocked kidney.A blocked kidney may have a similar appearance on ultrasound, and tumors are another possibility for asymptomatic abdominal masses. [nationwidechildrens.org]
