Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common hereditary kidney disease, characterized by progressive cystic growth of the kidneys and impaired kidney function. ADPKD is a multisystemic disease and as the disease progresses, its effects are seen in other organs. Radiological imaging is critical for ADPKD diagnosis and the follow-up of treatment efficacy. Our aim in this study is to evaluate renal and extrarenal abdominal findings in ADPKD with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In addition, the relationship between MRI findings and clinical and laboratory data has been investigated. In the study, 36 patients over the age of 18 who underwent abdominal MRI between January 2020 and November 2021 have been examined. The mean total kidney volume (TBV) was 113.8±842.2 mL (range, 326.5 - 4498.6 mL). Hemorrhagic cysts were detected in the kidney in 22 patients (61%). There was at least one cyst in the liver of 31 patients (86.1%). Common bile duct dilatation was detected in 11 patients (30.6%). We found a statistically significant correlation between TBV and glomerular filtration rate, creatinine levels, common bile duct dilatation and abdominal/flank pain. In conclusion, MRI provides useful information in the evaluation of renal and extrarenal findings related to ADPKD and can be used effectively.
