Surgical
management of polycystic liver disease
Massive hepatomegaly can lead to disabling symptoms of abdominal pain, early
satiety, persistent nausea, dyspnea, ascites, biliary obstruction, and lower
body edema. Earlier transplantation in appropriate candidates would seem to offer
a greater chance of improved outcomes, meaningful recovery, and return to their
prior functional status and quality of life. These patients had severe anorexia,
physical exhaustion, and evidence of malnutrition from end-stage PCLD for liver
transplant for APLD.
Polycystic liver disease: multimodality imaging
for complications and transplant evaluation.
Cyst fenestration with partial hepatic resection and liver transplantation are
two therapies that provide more permanent resolution of symptoms in patients
with extensive hepatic involvement. Help the radiologist provide the referring
clinician with important information for therapeutic decision making. RSNA, 2006.
Liver and kidney transplantation for polycystic
liver and kidney-renal function and outcome.
Transplantation is an excellent option for PLD with dramatic improvement in quality
of life and acceptable morbidity. acceptable renal function at time of transplantation,
solitary liver transplantation has an excellent outcome.
Liver transplantation in polycystic liver disease:
A relevant treatment modality for adults?
We conclude that patients treated for PLD by LTX have a good long-term prognosis
and excellent relief of symptoms and that LTX might be considered in severe cases
of PLD, where conventional surgery is not an option.
Results of percutaneous sclerotherapy and surgical
treatment in patients with symptomatic simple liver cysts and polycystic liver
disease.
Results of percutaneous sclerotherapy and surgical treatment for PLD are disappointing.
Outcome and Quality of Life in Patients With
Polycystic Liver Disease After Liver or Combined Liver-Kidney Transplantation.
Patients with advanced polycystic liver or polycystic liver-kidney disease
have an excellent survival rate and an improved quality of life after liver
or combined liver-kidney transplantation.

New advances in evaluation and management of
patients with polycystic liver disease.
In these patients, medical management alone has proved ineffectual. Therefore,
in the symptomatic APLD patient, surgical therapy remains the mainstay of therapy
and includes cyst aspiration and sclerosis, fenestration with and without hepatic
resection and orthotopic liver transplantation.
Successful transplantation of cadaveric polycystic
liver: case report and review of the literature. We report the successful
use of a polycystic donor liver and review the experience with this donor
population. We propose that the selective use of polycystic donor livers
containing small (<5 cm) cysts with preserved liver parenchyma is
safe and appropriate.
Quality of Life and Liver Transplantation in
Patients With Polycystic Liver Disease.
Chronic and end-stage liver diseases negatively affect many aspects of
patients’ physical
functioning and quality of life. A considerable amount of research in
the past few decades has been devoted to the measurement of HRQL. Global
(generic) aspects of health-related quality of life are commonly assessed,
which allows for comparisons between patients with different diseases.

LIVER LECTURE

PLD
POLYCYSTIC LIVER by Dr. V. Torres listen to this exceptional taped lecture
on PLD.
 Vicente
Torres, MD, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN. From him comes almost all the
major research on Polycystic Liver Disease. If there is a question should
you need a liver resection, a liver transplant, a TAE, or conservative
medical treatment for liver cysts, this is the physician to turn to.
He has numerous published articles on cystic organ disease. His most
recent shows sirolimus also
reduces liver cysts.
 Marie
Hogan MD, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN: The third project will research
the evaluation and treatment of chronic Pain in ADPKD. Dr. Hogan is currently
heading up clinical trials on Octreotide and
chronic long term pain from PKD.
