The average weight of a kidney is approximately 135 gm, measuring on average 10 × 6 × 4 cm. In hereditary conditions, autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease, the shape, size, and the weight can be significantly abnormal, causing progressive renal failure, often necessitating dialysis or renal transplant for survival. We report a case of adult polycystic kidney disease in a 50-year-old female without a family history, who died of complications of the disease which included accelerated hypertension, and renal and cardiac failure.
肾脏的平均重量约为135克，平均尺寸为10×6×4厘米。在遗传性疾病，如常染色体显性和常染色体隐性多囊肾病中，肾脏的形状、大小和重量可能会显著异常，导致进行性肾衰竭，常常需要透析或肾移植才能存活。我们报告一例50岁无家族病史的成年女性多囊肾病病例，该患者死于该疾病的并发症，包括恶性高血压、肾衰竭和心力衰竭。
