Abstract

There are two common types of hereditary polycystic kidney diseases, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease and autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease. Congenital hepatic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder and can occur in hereditary polycystic kidney disease. Therefore, hereditary polycystic kidney disease is one of the causes of unexplained liver fibrosis and liver cirrhosis.
