Polycystic kidney disease is an inherited condition, characterized by the development of cysts in the kidney, as well as in other organs. Patients with polycystic kidney can suffer from the same causes of acute kidney injury as the general population. Nephritic syndrome is an uncommon cause of acute kidney injury in the general population and less common in patients with polycystic kidney disease. We report the second case of crescentic glomerulonephritis, causing acute kidney injury, in a patient with polycystic kidney disease.
多囊肾病是一种遗传性疾病，其特征是在肾脏以及其他器官中出现囊肿。多囊肾病患者与普通人群一样，可能因相同原因发生急性肾损伤。在普通人群中，肾炎综合征是急性肾损伤的少见病因，在多囊肾病患者中则更为罕见。我们报告了第二例多囊肾病患者发生新月体性肾小球肾炎并导致急性肾损伤的病例。
