Abstract
Polycystic kidney disease is the most common genetic kidney disorder; the autosomal dominant form accounts for 10% of cases of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Kidney transplantation offers patients with ESKD the ability to recover their kidney function and alleviate symptoms associated with advanced kidney disease. However, the structural abnormalities associated with multi-organ cystic formations and vascular malformations are complications that persist post-transplant and must be periodically monitored.
