    Author: Manns RA, Burrows FG, Adu D, Michael J.
    Journal: Clin Radiol; 1990 Apr; 41(4):248-9. PubMed ID: 2187650.
    Abstract:
    Patients with end-stage renal disease on long term dialysis may develop de novo renal cystic disease. We used ultrasound as a primary screening procedure for renal cysts in 71 patients. In seven patients (10%) the native kidneys could not be identified. In 35 patients renal cysts were identified indicating a prevalence of acquired renal cystic disease of 49%.
