| Popis: | This case is the first of its kind of simultaneous bilateral nephrectomy of the largest size of autosomal dominant polycystic kidneys in the United Arab Emirates. A 57-year-old man referred to our department with abdominal pain and distension, difficulty in walking and breathing, and edema of both legs caused by hugely enlarged bilateral polycystic kidneys. He was on hemodialysis for the past 3 years. Any type of operation was refused by him. In October 2016, he was admitted to the hospital due to deterioration of his general condition and intolerable quality of life caused by severe compression to the abdominal organs. After obtaining written consent, simultaneous open bilateral nephrectomy was done successfully. Mass of both kidneys removed was 13,050 g which is, to our knowledge, the largest polycystic kidneys removed simultaneously so far. Early bilateral nephrectomy is advisable in patients with end-stage renal failure with the tendency of progressive enlargement of the kidney size. |
