[Polycystic kidney disease: diagnosis and progressive profile, prognostic elements].

Polycystic kidney disease: diagnosis, progressive profile, prognostic elements. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease can lead to end-stage renal disease but is also complicated by infectious, digestive, cardiovascular and hepatic problems. The diagnosis is easy in the presence of a family history, but its exclusion is sometimes difficult. Identification of clinical, morphologic and genetic progression factors has enabled to design prognostic scores currently used to assess the risk of progression of the disease and initiate specific therapies.
