Liver Cyst Infection Outcomes in Patients With ADPKD.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Liver cyst infection is a rare and severe complication of the liver cysts associated with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), and evidence-based data for optimal management is lacking. We conducted a multicentric retrospective study to investigate the treatment and outcomes of liver cyst infection.

Methods

Liver cyst infection was either defined by (i) C-reactive protein levels ≥ 50 mg/l and suspicion at computed tomography (CT) scan, ¹⁸Fluorodeoxyglucose (¹⁸FDG) positron-emission tomography (PET) CT, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); or (ii) proven by cyst puncture. We studied the determinants of treatment failure (persistent infection with requirement for antibiotic therapy change, cyst drainage, and hepatectomy), relaps
