| Popis: | In a dialysis population patients who had been treated merely with haemodialysis(HD)or continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) were examined with ultrasound. The occurance of multicystic transformation of kidney was 4/15 in HD patients and 8/25 in CAPD patients with no significant association between the two groups. There was a significant association between the occurance of multicystic transformation and the patient age while there was no significant association to the duration od dialysis or the duration of the uraemic state. No tumour or any other complication to cystic transformatioin was found. In 582 persons without renal disease examined as controls we found 44 with cystic change. This material does not support the recommendation of regular ultrasound examination of our dialysis patients. However, until these results can be confirmed by prospective studies we must recommend screening of all maintenance dialysis patients after a longer duration of dialysis. |
