The inherited cystic diseases of the kidney represent a diverse group of diseases. Recent advantages in molecular medicine have greatly enhanced the presymptomatic detection of these entities. To data, however, genetic tests cannot determine the severity of the disease or prevent complications. Therefore, imaging will continue to play a major role in the screening and management of these complex diseases.
遗传性肾脏囊性疾病是一组多样的疾病。分子医学的最新进展极大地提高了这些疾病的症状前检测能力。然而，到目前为止，基因检测无法确定疾病的严重程度或预防并发症。因此，影像学将继续在这些复杂疾病的筛查和管理中发挥主要作用。
