| pubmed-article:6698375 | pubmed:abstractText | Congenital hepatic fibrosis has been associated with a variety of renal malformations, but rarely adult-type polycystic kidneys. The case of a 19-yr-old woman with congenital hepatic fibrosis associated with asymptomatic familial adult-type (autosomal dominant) polycystic kidney disease is described. A literature review revealed seven other reports of this association. Our patient differs because the association between congenital hepatic fibrosis and adult-type polycystic kidney disease is clear, and because her asymptomatic kidney disease accords with the later onset of symptomatic polycystic kidney disease in her family. | lld:pubmed |
