Expression of adult polycystic renal disease in a 17-year-old male.

ABSTRACT

Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is found mostly in the middle-aged group. We report a rare occurrence of ADPKD in a 17-year-old male student with clinical presentation of bilateral loin pains and total haematuria. Clinical diagnosis of Acute-on-Chronic Glomerulonephritis was made. However Ultrasound and Intravenous Urography confirmed the diagnosis of Adult Polycystic Disease. The possible embryogenesis and associated anomalies of ADPKD and the radiological findings were reviewed.
