Extrarenal Manifestations of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease: Polycystic Liver Disease

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Polycystic Kidney Disease

Abstract

Liver involvement is the most frequent extrarenal organ manifestation seen in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Most patients with polycystic liver disease (PLD) are asymptomatic and do not require interventions, but an important minority of individuals with symptomatic PLD can have challenging clinical problems resulting from massive hepatomegaly and its associated complications. These individuals can also experience a progressive decline in health status and quality of life. We discuss disease pathogenesis, prevalence, complications, and management. The current role of surgical interventions such as cyst fenestration, partial hepatectomy, liver transplantation, and recent advances in current and medical therapies is reviewed.
