Progression of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is highly variable, with some patients progressing rapidly to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Abdominal imaging is an important modality for verifying diagnosis in patients at risk for rapidly progressing ADPKD, targeting them for early treatment that could slow onset of ESRD. Published literature is limited on the real-world abdominal imaging utilization patterns in ADPKD.
