    Abstract:
    Congenital hepatic fibrosis is often associated with infantile, but not with adult polycystic kidney disease. We report the unusual case of an adult patient with polycystic kidney disease complicated by congenital hepatic fibrosis. A 27-year-old women was admitted to our hospital because of gross hematuria due to hemorrhage from renal cysts. She presented hematemesis from ruptured esophageal varices at the age of 14 years. She was diagnosed as having end-stage renal disease due to polycystic kidney disease at the age of 23 years, and maintenance hemodialysis was initiated the following year. Gross hematuria was managed with supportive therapy. However, the patient developed cholangitis and died of sepsis. Postmortem examinations as well as the patient's clinical course suggested that she had an autosomal dominant type of polycystic kidney disease. Histological findings of the liver were compatible with congenital hepatic fibrosis.
