Congenital hepatic fibrosis in a child with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.

Open publisher page 9 citations

Abstract

The association of congenital hepatic fibrosis (CHF) with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is well known and occurs in approximately 50% of cases. However the association of CHF with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is less well known and less well documented. We report a child with neonatal onset of hypertension due to ADPKD who later develops portal hypertension due to CHF in childhood. A review of this rare association follows.
