PARODIS LOPEZ, Yanet et al. Acquired cystic kidney disease mimicking adult polycystic kidney disease in a patient undergoing chronic hemodialysis. Rev cubana med [online]. 2006, vol.45, n.1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-302X.

The clinical evolution of a 59-year-old patient on hemodialysis since 1994 that apparently reaches the end-stage chronic kidney failure (CKF) by arterial hypertension is presented. After 11 years under the dialytic procedure, it is observed an increase of the size of the kidneys with large cysts, whose aspect in the echography and in the tomography is undistinguishable from an adult dominant polycystic kidney disease.
