AI Article Synopsis
- Kidney cysts are common in adults, particularly small simple ones in those aged 30-40; however, their presence in children warrants further investigation due to potential underlying issues.
- The use of ultrasound, along with intravenous contrast and Doppler mode, is essential for assessing the characteristics and follow-up of complex or multiple renal cysts.
- The essay is divided into two parts: the first discusses non-genetic cystic renal diseases, while the second focuses on genetic cystic renal diseases.
Article Abstract
Kidney cysts are quite common in adults. Though small simple renal cysts in an adult over 30-40 years of age are not too unusual, however, if the same cysts are seen in a child, and especially if there are additional findings, then several diagnostic possibilities may come to mind. The role of ultrasound, together with the help of intravenous contrast agents and Doppler mode, is very critical in describing the morphologic features and follow-up of the complex or multiple and bilateral renal cysts. Sonographic signs are occasionally specific for diagnosis, but in many cases they should be evaluated together with the other genetic and clinical data to reach a diagnosis.The first part of this pictorial essay includes "non-genetic cystic renal diseases" and the second part will include "genetic cystic renal diseases".
