Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a genetic disorder that leads to chronic kidney disease and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Polycystic liver disease (PCLD) is the most common extrarenal manifestation of ADPKD. Though isolated PCLD and PCLD due to ADPKD are genetically distinct, they follow a similar clinical course of hepatomegaly from multiple cysts with preserved liver function. Tolvaptan use in ADPKD can slow down the deterioration of renal function and growth of cysts. Somatostatin analogs can slow the growth of polycystic livers but the effect is short-lived. The only curative therapy for PCLD is liver transplantation. Renal transplantation can significantly improve survival in patients with ESKD due to ADPKD.
