== Study Questions ==
* <spoiler text="What are the inheritance pattern and incidence of adult polycystic kidney disease?">Autosomal dominant.
Adult polycystic kidney disease occurs in approximately 1 out of 1000 people. A rare autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease occurs in childhood (perinatal, infantile, neonatal, and juvenile subcategories) but this anomaly is genetically distinct from the adult variety.</spoiler>
* <spoiler text="What is the significance of history of hypertension and uremic pericarditis in this patient?">People with polycystic kidney disease often develop hypertension, as do many patients with renal disease. Uremic pericarditis often occurs in people with kidney failure induced uremia.</spoiler>
* <spoiler text="What are some of the other congenital anomalies that can be seen in people with polycystic kidney disease?">Asymptomatic polycystic liver disease is seen in 40% of these patients. Cysts can also occur, albeit infrequently, in the spleen, pancreas and lungs. These people also have a 10% to 30% incidence of berry aneurysms in the circle of Willis.</spoiler>
