ADPKD patients underwent abdominal MRI using a body array coil. Organ volumes
and cyst volumes were measured on T2 images.RESULTS: There is significant
correlation between HV and HCV, HV and HCF, HV and SPV, HCF and age, HCF and
GFR, HCF and Sex, HCF and BRV, HCF and BECV, BRV and BCV at P=0.01 level.
Hepatic cyst fraction was
significantly higher in female.Discussion and Conclusion:Our research prove
that hepatic cysts in ADPKD are more prevalent in women than men, and women
experience a larger burden of hepatic cysts than men in a younger age,
implicating gender-specific hormones works in the pathogenesis of hepatic
cyst involvement in ADPKD.
