Acquired cystic disease of the kidney (ACDK) in patients with end-stage renal failure can be associated with development of polycythaemia. The relationship between plasma erythropoietin levels and ACDK in 17 patients on long-term haemodialysis treatment was studied. There was a significantly higher level of plasma erythropoietin in patients with multiple renal cysts than in those patients with less than five cysts or no cysts. Haemoglobin tended to be higher in the ACDK group, but the difference was not significant. These results indicate that the development of renal cysts results in increased secretion of erythropoietin.
