Polycystic Kidney Disease

Autosomal recessive polycystic disease produces large, very echogenic kidneys (Fig 1A). The numerous very tiny cysts are usually too small to see with US. Amniotic fluid is minimal or absent.
Autosomal dominant polycystic disease may produce large echogenic kidneys with multiple cysts (Fig 1 B), but amniotic fluid volume is usually normal.
