Recommended imaging modalities based on the type of renal complications in ADPKD

Renal Complication	Imaging Modality of Choice
Nephrolithiasis	High-resolution computerized tomography
Obstruction	Ultrasound or Tc99-MAG-3 renal scan (with furosemide)
Complex cysts/suspicion of renal cell carcinoma	Magnetic resonance imaging with injection of Gadolinium
Infected cysts refractory to treatment	Fludeoxyglucose Positron emission tomography scan
Chronic kidney pain/possible cyst aspiration	Computerized tomography scan
Intractable cyst hemorrhage	Angiography with selective embolization

ADPKD, autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease; MAG-3, mercaptoacetyltriglycerine-3.
