A Prospective Observational Study of Foam Sclerotherapy for the Treatment of Symptomatic Kidney or Liver Cysts in Patients With Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney and Liver Disease.
Mayo Clinic
Summary
An observational prospective study to determine the impact of foam sclerotherapy of large, dominant kidney/liver cysts on quality of life outcomes and kidney/liver cyst volumes at up to 12 months of follow-up in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and autosomal dominant polycystic liver disease (ADPLD).
Description
Cyst burden is an important determinant of outcomes in both autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) (1, 2) and autosomal dominant polycystic liver disease (ADPLD) (3, 4). Furthermore, mass symptoms (from liver and kidney volume) greatly impact upon quality of life in patients with severe disease. Cyst volume increases exponentially with age and results in the development of end-stage renal disease and hypertension, compromised quality of life due to compressive symptoms, and predisposes patients to cyst complications such as infection, hemorrhage, rupture, and torsion. Existing pe…
