title: Abdominal Aortic Dissection in a Patient With Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease After Starting Peritoneal Dialysis.
abstract: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), one of the most common genetic disorders, is caused by mutations in the PKD1 or PKD2 gene. ADPKD primarily affects the kidneys, causing the development of multiple bilateral cysts that are characteristic of this condition. Besides renal abnormalities, other manifestations of ADPKD include hepatic, pancreatic, and splenic cysts, intracranial aneurysms, aortic aneurysms, and mitral valve prolapse. Reports of ADPKD-associated abdominal aortic dissections are not rare, but there have been no reports of an ADPKD patient developing intestinal obstruction and abdominal aortic dissection after initiating peritoneal dialysis. Herein, we present one such case.
