*Common type of cystic disease of the kidney Introduction Cystic diseases of the kidney are common lesions worldwide.1–5 They are broadly divided into genetic and nongenetic cysts. A renal cyst is a fluid-filled sac arising from dilatation in any part of the nephrons or collecting ducts. The cysts may eventually separate from the nephrons or ducts and continue to enlarge.

متن کاملCystic kidney diseases: learning from animal models.
Renal tubular cysts arise in several inherited human disorders which include autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), as well as rarer disorders such as autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) nephronophthisis and medullary cystic kidney. Despite their genetic, clinical and histopathological heterogeneity, all these diseases involve a dilation of tubules leading to cy...
متن کاملExpression of nephrin in pediatric kidney diseases.
Nephrin is a podocyte cell adhesion protein located at the slit diaphragm area of the kidney glomerulus. Mutations in the nephrin gene (NPHS1) lead to congenital nephrosis, suggesting that nephrin is essential for the glomerular filtration barrier. This prompted this study of the expression of nephrin in acquired pediatric kidney diseases using in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry. In...
متن کاملCystic Kidney Diseases From the Adult Nephrologist’s Point of View
Cystic kidney diseases affect patients of all age groups with the onset spanning from prenatal disease to late adulthood.
