Abstract
Cystic kidney diseases is a heterogeneous group of developmental, hereditary and acquired disorders that result in the
occurrence of one or more cysts on one or both kidneys, and are relatively common. Cystic kidneys can also occur as one
of various syndromes of malformations. Kidney cysts can have several classifications, depending on the properties taken
in consideration. Some patients remain symptom free for life, whereas others develop serious clinical symptoms that may
sometimes be life threatening. It is important to keep in mind the existing classifications, differentiate their succession,
clinical course, treatment and prognosis, as well as potential complications. The objective of this paper is to present
the most prevalent types of cysts with accompanying clinical symptoms and point out their importance, prevalence and
possible association with other serious medical conditions.
