    Author: Ling G, Landau D, Bergmann C, Maor E, Yerushalmi B.
    Journal: Clin Nephrol; 2015 May; 83(5):297-300. PubMed ID: 25250579.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Neonatal ascites is a rare entity, which is usually biliary, urinary, or chylous. Congenital hepatic fibrosis as part of the manifestations of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is usually a histological adjunct to the diagnosis of this mainly clinically renal entity in the neonatal period. Case-diagnosis: We describe a rare case of severe ascites in a newborn child complicating ARPKD, which was later confirmed by clinical, histological, and genetic studies. CONCLUSION: ARPKD should be considered in differential diagnosis of neonatal ascites.
