[Acquired cystic renal changes--a clinically relevant problem in long-term dialysis]. 1987

W Brunner, and A Colombi, and J Laissue, and B Hofer, and M Mihatsch

While dialysis patients survive renal failure for years and even decades, multiple morphologic alterations take place in their kidneys. One of these (so to speak) "postmortem" changes is the formation of secondary renal cysts. A patient with end stage renal failure due to amyloidosis is described who was dialysed at home for 9 years. Intravenous pyelography and renal biopsy in the predialysis period likewise documented the presence of amyloidosis and the absence of cystic disease. Ultrasonography of both kidneys, a suspicious increase in hematocrit and the autopsy finding of numerous large cysts also showed the presence of acquired cystic disease. The frequency and complications of this newly recognized disease in longterm dialysed patients are discussed. Recommendations are given concerning follow-up of these patients, with a view to early detection of tumor development within the cysts.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.

D007690 Polycystic Kidney Diseases Hereditary diseases that are characterized by the progressive expansion of a large number of tightly packed CYSTS within the KIDNEYS.

D000686 Amyloidosis A group of sporadic, familial and/or inherited, degenerative, and infectious disease processes, linked by the common theme of abnormal protein folding and deposition of AMYLOID. As the amyloid deposits enlarge they displace normal tissue structures, causing disruption of function. Various signs and symptoms depend on the location and size of the deposits. Amyloidoses
D001706 Biopsy Removal and pathologic examination of specimens from the living body. Biopsies
D014463 Ultrasonography The visualization of deep structures of the body by recording the reflections or echoes of ultrasonic pulses directed into the tissues. Use of ultrasound for imaging or diagnostic purposes employs frequencies ranging from 1.6 to 10 megahertz.
