Adult polycystic kidney disease
Adult polycystic kidney disease is an autosomal dominant genetic disease that is almost always bilateral (accounting for 95% of the total number of cases). Although there have been reports of infants with adult polycystic kidney disease in the literature, the disease occurs in infants differently from adults. Infantile polycystic kidney disease is an autosomal recessive genetic disease with a short survival period, while adult polycystic kidney disease usually does not show symptoms before the age of 40, and multiple cysts of the same morphology can also be seen in the liver, spleen, and pancreas. Polycystic kidneys are larger than normal kidneys, and their surface is covered with cysts of varying sizes.
