Core Tip
Core Tip: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a genetic disorder that leads to kidney and liver cysts, with a prevalence of 1 in 1000–2500 individuals. It often progresses to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Incidence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is higher in patients with ADPKD than in the general population. Diagnosing RCC in ADPKD is challenging due to overlapping symptoms and distorted renal anatomy. In a study of 19 ADPKD patients undergoing nephrectomy, RCC was found in 21.1% of patients. The study highlights the need for vigilant RCC monitoring in patients with ADPKD, especially those with ESRD.
