[Renal cell carcinoma and acquired cystic disease of the kidneys in patients on long-term hemodialysis].
Hinyokika Kiyo. Acta Urologica Japonica 1995 September
Since the first report in 1977 by Dunnill et al., a substantial number of articles have been written concerning the complications of acquired cystic disease of the kidneys (ACDK) and renal cell carcinoma developing in the native kidneys of patients undergoing long-term hemodialysis. The incidence has been reported to be 35% to 95% of ACDK in patients undergoing long-term hemodialysis. In addition, renal cell carcinoma has been described in 4% to 7% of the ACDK. The etiology of ACDK and renal cell carcinoma in the native kidneys of patients undergoing long-term hemodialysis remains unresolved. Because ACDK and renal cell carcinoma are usually asymptomatic, several reports described the use of imaging studies in the native kidneys of patients undergoing long-term hemodialysis and suggest a variety of management schemes to screen or monitor the status of the native kidneys. Ultrasonography is the most common screening study, but CT scan is more sensitive. Both studies are necessary to diagnose ACDK and renal cell carcinoma in the native kidneys of patients. We review our 10 cases and the Japanese literature with particular attention to the diagnosis and treatment of patients with ACDK and renal cell carcinoma. Our findings were similar to those reported by others. Patients receiving dialysis treatment for more than three years should have a baseline radiologic examination of the kidneys so that subsequent problems can be more easily identified and evaluated. The best surgical treatment for patients with ACDK and renal cell carcinoma is simple nephrectomy by flank incision in order to prevent surgical side effects, for example postoperative bleeding.
