Choroby w ątroby i nerek w przebiegu ciliopatii

Publication date: Available online 6 September 2016 Source:Pediatria Polska Author(s): Patryk Lipiński, Irena Jankowska, Ryszard Grenda Ciliopathies constitute a group of disorders characterized by cilia abnormalities and an extremely heterogeneous clinical presentation. The liver and kidneys are the most commonly affected organs and the term hepatorenal fibrocystic disorders is used to describe ciliopathies with combined liver and kidney involvement. Liver disorders in ciliopathies can be grouped into three categories: congenital hepatic fibrosis, Caroli's disease and polycystic liver disease. Kidney disorders related to primary cilia abnormalities include autosomal dominant and recessive polycystic kidney diseases and nephronophthisis.
