Massive bilateral polycystic kidneys, successful treatment with embolization and nephrectomy: A case report

Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a genetic disorder characterized by the formation of multiple cysts in the kidneys. We present a case of a 47-year-old male with PKD on dialysis who underwent bilateral renal artery embolization followed by bilateral nephrectomy via a median incision. The specimen...

description Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a genetic disorder characterized by the formation of multiple cysts in the kidneys. We present a case of a 47-year-old male with PKD on dialysis who underwent bilateral renal artery embolization followed by bilateral nephrectomy via a median incision. The specimen weight was 5 kg for the left kidney and 8 kg for the right one. Renal artery embolization can be a useful tool in managing polycystic kidney disease in cases where nephrectomy is indicated. This case highlights the importance of timely intervention and the role of minimally invasive techniques in managing this rare condition.
