Polycystic kidney disease: II. Diagnosis and management.
Ongoing research will no doubt change the way we diagnose and manage cystic kidney diseases in the not-too-distant future (probably before the turn of the century). The immediate clinical benefits are the more modest: Genetic tests have not replaced imaging techniques for the diagnosis of ADPKD, and clinical management of all cystic kidney diseases is still largely empiric.
