title: Computerised tomography in acquired cystic disease of the kidneys.
abstract: A unique form of acquired cystic disease develops in the kidneys with end-stage renal failure. The cystic disease usually remains asymptomatic, but haemorrhage or neoplasia may occur. Computerised tomography rather than ultrasound is the most reliable investigation in detecting the presence of tumours in this condition.
