==Differentiating Polycystic kidney disease from other Diseases==
==Differentiating Polycystic kidney disease from other Diseases==
*Autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease must be differentiated from other diseases that cause renal cysts, such as simple renal cysts, medullary sponge kidney, tuberous sclerosis complex, von hippel-lindau disease.
*[[Autosomal dominant]] and [[autosomal recessive]] polycystic kidney disease must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [[renal cysts]], such as simple [[renal cysts]], [[medullary sponge kidney]], [[tuberous sclerosis complex]], von hippel-lindau disease.

Overview

Several cystic diseases can have features of ADPKD namely autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD, simple renal cysts, autosomal dominant polycystic liver disease, medullary cystic kidney disease and tuberous sclerosis complex.
