Explain of Hepatic Pathology

61.Dominant polycystic kidney disease with polycystic liver, gross

Numerous cysts appear in this liver from a patient with dominant polycystic kidney disease (DPKD). Such cases occur in adults and manifest with renal failure beginning in middle age. Sometimes the liver (as seen here) can be affected as well by polycystic change. Less commonly the pancreas is involved. These patients with DPKD can also have berry aneurysms in the cerebral arteries.
