“…Before the advent of hemodialysis, these patients had a rapidly fatal disease. It is likely that cyst formation is promoted by dialysis because their improved survival gives these patients a greater opportunity to develop cysts [16][17][18].…”

“…The affected kidneys have multiple cysts and are usually small with increased echogenicity [16,19]. The cysts may cause renal enlargement, and with time the sonographic appearance may resemble autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease [17,19]. Ultrasound can also be utilized to help further characterize an indeterminate renal mass discovered on CT. CT is the most sensitive method for detecting ACKD.…”

“…Ultrasonic examination is readily accessible, cheap and repeatable, however, it is operator-dependent [68][69][70] and has trouble visualizing small, atrophic kid neys [34]. Furthermore, while ultrasound allows good resolution of small cysts, it is unable to visualize small renal cell carcinomas well.…”

Acquired cystic kidney disease (ACKD) occurs in adult patients undergoing long-term dialysis. Early detection is important because clinically significant hematuria and malignancies are associated with ACKD. We evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasonography (US) the incidence of ACKD in 15 patients aged 7.3-21.6 years (mean 15.9 years) with non-cystic primary renal disease. Nine patients had been treated with peritoneal dialysis only, and 6 with both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis for 24-73 months (mean 37 months). Three patients (20%) had no cysts. In 5 patients (33%) with bilateral multiple cysts, the diagnosis of ACKD was made by MRI and US. In another 5 patients, solitary cysts were localized to one kidney by MRI, and in 2 patients solitary cysts were seen in both kidneys. This study documents that ACKD is not limited to older patients with end-stage renal disease. Early detection of these cysts can be accomplished by MRI and is warranted since 1 patient developed neoplastic tubular changes which can precede tumor formation.
