Cystic Diseases of the Kidney. IN: Kellogg Parsons, J.; James Wright, E., eds. Brady Urology Manual. New York, NY: Informa Healthcare USA. 2006. pp 107-114.

This chapter about cystic diseases of the kidney is from a reference handbook that offers a comprehensive overview of urology, presented in outline and bulleted formats for ease of access in the busy health care world of hospital emergency rooms and outpatient clinics. The author notes that simple renal cyst is a common, benign condition that is usually detected incidentally. The chapter covers general information, presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of simple renal cyst, acquired renal cystic disease, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), and autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD). The Bosniak classification system is recommended to distinguish simple cysts from complex renal cysts and cystic renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Acquired renal cystic disease occurs in patients with kidney failure and is characterized by bilateral cortical and/or medullary cysts. ADPKD is an inherited disease of the collecting duct characterized by multiple large renal cysts, progressive renal insufficiency, and extrarenal manifestations, including hepatic cysts and cerebral artery aneurysm. Treatment for ADPKD and ARPKD is supportive care. The chapter concludes with a list of references for additional reading. 19 references.
