Abstract
- Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is probably the common human disorder inherited by an autosomal dominant mechanism with worldwide prevalence of 1 out of 500-1,000 individuals. Progressive decline in renal function is usual. Approximately 50 percent of ADPKD develops into ESRD by age of 60. However, developed ESRD is rare before age of 30. We experienced a case of ESRD caused by ADPKD. The patient is a 17-year-old male mainly complaining of known fatigue and general weakness. Clinical manifestations, laboratory data, ultrasonogram, abdominal CT scanning and pathologic findings of the kidney diagnosed it. A review of literatures was also briefly presented.
