Comparison of volume-reductive therapies for massive polycystic liver disease in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease

摘要

AimPolycystic liver disease (PLD) in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) patients can induce massive hepatomegaly-related symptoms. Volume-reductive therapies for symptomatic PLD include transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE), liver resection and liver transplantation; however, consensus has not been reached regarding treatment selection. We compared three volume-reductive therapies for a better understanding of PLD treatment strategies.
