Answer to Clinical Quiz
Answer :
Radiographic Findings:
Bilateral renal shadows are enlarged. Multiple ring-shaped and curvilinear calcifications are present diffusely in both renal
shadows.
Diagnosis:
Autosomal dominant polycystic renal disease.
Definitive diagnosis is established by ultrasound, which will show typical finding of multiple cysts of varying sizes in the
enlarged kidneys. Ultrasound would also be able to detect complications of these cysts such as haemorrhage, infections, cyst
wall calcifications and renal calculus disease.
