Abstract

Blood Case studies Disease Kidneys Urine
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is the most prevalent hereditary disorder in this country and a common cause of chronic renal failure. Patients frequently present with hematuria as the initial manifestation of PKD. We describe a patient with gross hematuria after blunt trauma who was found to have previously undiagnosed PKD. We review present diagnostic and treatment modalities and suggest potential management strategies for surgeons caring for patients presenting with traumatic hematuria and PKD.
