7 middle-aged males with bilateral, polycystic, nonfamilial kidneys without enlargement are described. The histological examination revealed multiple cysts of varying sizes and changes such as in interstitial nephritis. 6 of the patients had hematuria and/or calculi in the urinary tract. The etiology of the cysts is not clear. The picture does not conform to that of congenital cystic kidney. The cysts might possibly be a final phenomenon in contracted kidneys, so-called acquired cystic disease, but it should be noted that in 4 of the 7 cases the cystic degeneration was demonstrated log before the uremia appeared. Another possibility is that the cystic transformation described here might be attributed to a specific type of interstitial nephritis.
本文描述了7例中年男性患者，其双侧肾脏为多囊性、非家族性，且无增大。组织学检查发现有大小不一的多个囊肿以及诸如间质性肾炎等变化。6例患者有血尿和/或尿路结石。囊肿的病因尚不清楚。这种情况不符合先天性多囊肾的表现。这些囊肿可能是萎缩肾的终末现象，即所谓的获得性囊肿病，但应注意的是，在7例病例中有4例在出现尿毒症之前很久就已显示有囊肿性退变。另一种可能性是，这里所描述的囊肿性转变可能归因于一种特定类型的间质性肾炎。
