摘要：Introduction: Cystic diseases of kidney are heterogeneous, comprising of hereditary, developmental and acquireddisorders. They account for 6-8% on dialysis. Knowledge of its occurrence, incidence, prevalence, morphology isclinically important for clinicians, radiologists, surgeons and pathologists for better pathological evaluationand understanding.Objective: The aim of the present study is to observe the incidence, prevalance and morphology of cystic kidneysin cadavers and to review on its classification, embryology and clinical significance.Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted on 30 adult formalin fixed human cadavers, 20 weremale and 10 were female, used for routine dissection and teaching purposes for the first year medical studentsin the department of Anatomy, P.E.S Institute of Medical Sciences and Research.Results: Cystic kidneys were seen in 7 cadavers out of the 30 cadavers. The other cadavers were normal. Theincidence of cysts is 23.3%. The normal kidneys 76.6%. In female cadavers it was unilateral in right kidney. Inmale cadavers, one had unilateral cyst and the remaining 3 presented with bilateral cystic kidneys. One amongthe 4 showed multiple bilateral cysts- no ranging from 1-45.Conclusion: Incidence of multiple cysts were more in males than in females. No of cysts were more in right thanin the left kidneys. For a person to lead a normal life one fifth of the kidney is sufficient if it functions normally.(with reference to the 8th specimen).Autosomal dominant /adult poly cystic kidney usually manifest in laterdecades of life.
