Liver cysts were found in 46 (29%) of 158 patients over 10 yr of age with documented autosomal dominant-type polycystic kidney disease (PKD) from 62 unrelated families. Hepatic cysts were not found in any patient at risk for PKD in whom renal cysts were not detected. The prevalence of liver cysts increased with advancing age and with declining rate of glomerular filtration. Polycystic liver disease in patients with autosomal dominant-type PKD appears to be a benign condition, rarely, if ever, causing impaired liver function or portal hypertension.
