  • Title: Portal hypertension due to extensive hepatic cysts in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.
    Author: Misra A, Loyalka P, Alva F.
    Journal: South Med J; 1999 Jun; 92(6):626-7. PubMed ID: 10372860.
    Abstract:
    Liver cysts are a well-recognized feature of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and occur in 77% of patients more than 60 years old. Serious sequelae, however, are rare, the two most common complications being pain and cyst infections. Portal hypertension has been reported in ADPKD due to the rare presence of congenital hepatic fibrosis. We report a case of ADPKD in a patient who had portal hypertension due to distortion of portal vein and venules by extensive hepatic cysts.
