CURRENT CONCEPTS AND CONTROVERSIES IN IMAGING OF RENAL CYSTIC DISEASES - 11/09/11
Résumé |
A renal cyst is a dilated fluid-filled segment of a nephron or collecting tubule. A cystic kidney contains three or more cysts. Renal cystic disease is the illness resulting from a cystic kidney.
Renal cystic disease compromises a diverse group of heritable, developmental, and acquired disorders. Because of this variability, no single classification is universally accepted. One practical classification, however, which is a modification of several that have been previously promulgated is listed:
• | Polycystic Kidney Disease

• | Cysts of the Renal Medulla
