Pancytopenia in a child with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease – a case report
Keywords:
polycystic kidney disease, hepatic fibrosis, esophageal varices, splenomegalyAbstract
The term polycystic kidney disease is restricted to 2 conditions: autosomal recessive polycystic kindey disease (ARPKD), and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Although congenital hepatic fibrosis occurs in every case in recessive form, it is very rare in the dominant form. The authors describe an unusual case of a child with ADPKD complicated by congenital hepatic fibrosis and pancytopenia.
