INHERITED KIDNEY lesions have historically been classified either by their dominant morphology or by a distinctive functional abnormality. This is because little is really known about their origins or pathophysiology. One consequence of a classification based on morphology is the inevitable tendency to regard diseases with common morphologic features as having shared pathogenic mechanisms, though this mayor may not be true. An enduring example of such a classification system is that of renal cystic diseases. Textbooks on the subject have traditionally grouped together inherited and acquired renal diseases having either macroscopic or microscopic cystS. 1.2 Confusion regarding the descriptive nomenclature of cystic diseases is well appreciated, although in the last 10 to 15 years the terminology has become much more consistent. 3 The two most common inherited cystic diseases that typically progress to end-stage are adult polycystic kidney disease (APKD), and the medullary cystic disease-familial juvenile nephronophthisis complex (MCD-FJN). Their patterns of inheritance, natural histories, and associated clinical complications have all been well descibed in recent reports. 4, 5 The inheritance of APKD seems to map to the short arm of chromosome 16.6 APKD is typically transmitted with autosomal dominant inheritance, whereas MCDFJN usually follows an autosomal recessive pattern. Together, they account for 10% to 12% of all end-stage kidney diseases. Although meticulous management of hypertension and infections (especially in APKD) and volume depletion (especially in MCD-FJN) may prevent accelerated loss of renal function, there is no specific therapy for either disease.
