Harris, PhD ADPLD Genetic Study If you have only liver cysts without any kidney cysts, it is likely that you probably have ADPLD, autosomal dominant polycystic liver disease. For individuals without kidney cysts and only liver cysts, there is an ongoing genetic study from the Mayo with Dr. Peter Harris and Dr Torres and through Yale with Dr. S. Somlo. ADPLD Genetic Study does gene phenotyping of ADPLD. This requires a donation of a test tube of your blood. It does not require travel. They can mail the kit to you and you mail it back in a pre-paid envelope. Email with any questions. Octreotide Clinical Trial The first ever, a clinical trial to see if Sandostatin will diminish liver cysts. For more information click here or send an email. Octreotide Clinical Trial in Italy. Guiseppe Remuzzi, Mario Negri Institute, Bergamo, Italy: Their study will look at the effect of long-acting somatostatin on disease progression in ADPKD. Tatyana Masyuk MD, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN: In this study, the treatment of PLD Polycystic Liver Disease will be explored. Octreotide article by Dr. Masyuk.

Dr. Hogan is currently heading up clinical trials on Octreotide and chronic long term pain from PKD. PKHDL1, a homolog of the autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease gene The gene mutated in autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease encodes a large, receptor-like protein 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 article is about sirolimus to reduce liver cysts.
