Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is one of the most prevalent genetic diseases and every general practitioner may have to counsel these patients. The follow-up of the patients carrying the trait has changed substantially lately and new treatments have been developed and are close to get approval. We review here the new ultrasound diagnostic criteria, the place of the renal volumetry by MRI in the follow-up, the place of the genetic molecular diagnosis and we discuss the pathogenesis and the future treatment that are in phase III clinical studies and will soon change completely the outcome of the disease.
