ABSTRACT
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a common genetic disorder characterized by innumerable bilateral renal cysts. It has an prevalence rate of one in 200~1,000 individuals and is a relatively common cause of renal failure. As renal function deteriorates, overall renal size usually diminish in patients with chronic renal failure. However, renal size of patients with ADPKD usually continues to increase, even after the initiation of dialysis therapy, because numerous cysts replace renal mass. Attempted methods to reduce the size of enlarged kidneys have included needle aspiration and sclerotherapy, cyst decompression surgery, laparoscopic and surgical nephrectomy. The outcome of these therapy frequently has been suboptimal, and there is a need to develop a more effective therapy. We report a case of renal arterial embolization using 99% ethanol and lipiodol mixture for ADPKD in a hemodialysis pathient, which has not been previously reported.
