Retrospective cohort analysis correlates prenatal ultrasonography findings in ADPKD with renal function and clinical outcomes.

Most infants with fetal ADPKD maintained normal renal function postnatally, despite some progressing to chronic kidney disease.
Key ultrasonographic indicators included chronic kidney disease risk associated with absent corticomedullary differentiation.
Observational analysis of 20 cases revealed significant features such as cortical echogenicity and renal enlargement.
Early prenatal diagnosis of ADPKD may improve long-term renal outcome management and support informed parental counseling.

Kim et al. (2025) studied this question.
