A genetic condition that is characterized by the growth of cysts in the kidneys (which lead to kidney failure) and liver and problems in other organs, such as the blood vessels in the brain and heart.
Overview. Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is the most common heritable cystic renal disease occurring in infancy and childhood. It is distinct from autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), which tends to occur in an older population. Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD). Axial nonenhanced CT scan of a 1-day-old boy with ARPKD shows massively enlarged, hypoattenuating kidneys (K) that occupy most of the abdominal area. In one study, 7 of 9 children aged 9-15 years had had CT scans that demonstrated renal calcifications. Overview. Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is a genetic condition that is characterized by the growth of cysts in the kidneys (which lead to kidney failure) and liver and problems in other organs, such as the blood vessels in the brain and heart. The severity varies from person to person.  Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is one of the most common inheritable disease manifesting in infancy and childhood with a frequency of 1:6,000 to 1:55,000 births. The patient in her second trimester presented with a history of amenorrhea. INTRODUCTION. The autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is characterized by bilateral, smooth, reniform enlargement of the kidneys secondary to diffuse dilatation of the collecting tubules. Congenital hepatic fibrosis is invariably associated with ARPKD. Clinical characteristics. Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) belongs to a group of congenital hepatorenal fibrocystic syndromes and is a cause of significant renal and liver-related morbidity and mortality in children. Clinical Description. Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) belongs to a group of congenital hepatorenal fibrocystic syndromes and is a cause of significant renal and liver-related morbidity and mortality in children. (Redirected from Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney). Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is the recessive form of polycystic kidney disease. It is associated with a group of congenital fibrocystic syndromes. Mutations in the PKHD1 (chromosomal locus 6p12.2) cause ARPKD General Discussion. Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the formation of fluid-filled sacs (cysts) in the kidneys. Most affected infants have enlarged kidneys during the newborn (neonatal) period and some cases may be fatal at this time Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is an inherited disease in which clusters of fluid-filled sacs (cysts) form in the kidneys, often leading to kidney failure by the age of 10 and a reduced lifespan.
