ABSTRACT
Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is caused by a mutation in the polycystic kidney and hepatic disease-1 (PKHD1) gene and is an important inherited cause of chronic kidney disease in children. The most typical presentations in neonates are massively enlarged kidneys with variable echogenicity, multiple small cysts, and congenital hepatic fibrosis. Potter sequence with pulmonary hypoplasia can present due to oligohydramnios. Severe pulmonary hypoplasia can lead to respiratory insufficiency and perinatal death. Some affected children can develop end-stage renal disease in early childhood or adolescence. Here, we report the clinical presentations, management, and renal outcomes of three neonatal cases of ARPKD from our center.
