Patients on long-term hemodialysis frequently develop Acquired Cystic Renal Disease (ACRD). When hematuria or flank pain occurs, the possibility of malignant renal tumors should be investigated. We present an ACRD patient who received a kidney transplant and developed malignancy in a native kidney, the first manifestation being bone metastases, and discuss the role of CT in evaluating these patients.

Thirty seven patients with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) on maintenance hemodialysis at our center were studied for prevalence of Acquired Cystic Renal Disease (ACRD). Eighteen (49%) patients had documented ACRD. The mean age was 50.4 years. The proportion of patients with ACRD rose with increasing duration of dialysis. In our study, ACRD was found in 71.4% of patients who had dialysis for more than four years and in 43.3% of patients who underwent dialysis for less than four years. All of our patients with ACRD remained asymptomatic except one who had flank pain and macro-hematuria. There was no clinical or ultrasonographic evidence of renal neoplasm in any of these patients.
