ABSTRACT

Introduction: Cystic diseases of kidney are heterogeneous, comprising of hereditary, developmental and acquired disorders. They account for 6-8% on dialysis. Knowledge of its occurrence, incidence, prevalence, morphology is clinically important for clinicians, radiologists, surgeons and pathologists for better pathological evaluation and understanding.

Objective: The aim of the present study is to observe the incidence, prevalance and morphology of cystic kidneys in cadavers and to review on its classification, embryology and clinical significance.

Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted on 30 adult formalin fixed human cadavers, 20 were male and 10 were female, used for routine dissection and teaching purposes for the first year medical students in the department of Anatomy, P.E.S Institute of Medical Sciences and Research.

Results: Cystic kidneys were seen in 7 cadavers out of the 30 cadavers. The other cadavers were normal. The incidence of cysts is 23.3%.  The  normal kidneys 76.6%. In female cadavers it was unilateral in right kidney. In male cadavers, one had unilateral cyst and the remaining 3 presented with bilateral cystic kidneys. One among the 4 showed multiple bilateral cysts- no ranging from 1-45.

Conclusion: Incidence of multiple cysts were more in males than in females. No of cysts were more in right than in the left kidneys. For a person to lead a normal life one fifth of the kidney is sufficient if it functions normally. (with reference to the 8th specimen).Autosomal dominant /adult poly cystic kidney usually manifest in later decades of life.

KEY WORDS: Cystic kidneys, multiple cysts, polycystic kidneys,  bilateral cysts and unilateral cysts.
