ABSTRACT
Polycystic kidney disease is defined as a heritable disorder with diffuse involvement of both kidneys without dysplasia other than cysts. The major clinical entities of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease have a considerable overlap in clinical presentations and radiographic features in the pediatric population. We experienced three cases of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease of neonate who expired within 24 hours due to respiratory difficulty and the other case was detected by gross hematuria. So we report four cases with brief review of literatures.
