Abstract
There was a high incidence of bilateral cystic disease in patients with uremia of chronic renal disease which was treated by intermittent hemodialysis. Complications of uremic cysts include cyst rupture, cyst hemorrhage and the development of solid adenomatous or adenocarcinomatous lesions. Obtaining screening sonograms of the native kidneys of patients who have undergone transplantation and of the kidneys of patients who are receiving treatment by hemodialysis may be justified as a baseline for the routine monitoring of these high risk patients.
