Abstract
The cysts in polycystic renal disease are always filled with fluid. In this chapter we consider the accumulation of that fluid to be a primary event in cyst production, consider the source of that fluid, and then ask whether or not the amount and rate of cyst filling and growth can give us additional information about their cause.
