Overview
Historical Perspective
Discovery
- In 1888, Fe´lix Lejars first used the term polycystic kidney[1]
- He also stressed on the fact these cysts are bilateral
- In the late 18th century, Dr. Matthew Baillie noted that these cysts were vesicular and not hydatid, and named them false hydatids of kidney[2]
- In 1994, PKD-1 gene mutation on chromosome 16, was first implicated in the pathogenesis of ADPKD patients[3]
- Later PKHD1 gene mutation was found in patients with ARPKD[4]
Famous Cases
The following are a few famous cases of Polycystic kidney disease:
- King Stephen Bathory of Poland died from polycystic kidney disease in 1586[5]
- His death began the journey of the discovery of polycystic kidney disease as a disease process.
