[Secondary cystic changes in the kidneys in chronic kidney failure].
In patients with chronic renal failure the presence and frequency of acquired cystic changes in the kidneys (acquired cystic renal disease) were studied. 46 patients, 21 to 62 years of age and duration of hemodialysis treatment from 2 up to 126 months, were examined. The patients with polycystic kidneys were excluded. Cysts were found in 67.4% of the patients. They were classified into five groups. Between the duration of the hemodialysis treatment (the chronic renal failure respectively) and the development of the cystic renal disease correlation was found. The correlation between the length of the kidneys and the cystic changes is statistically significant. There is no correlation with the sex, age, basic disease, hematologic indices, diuresis and arterial pressure of the patients. In 50% of the patients examined splenomegaly was found the cause of which is not known.
