ACR Appropriateness Criteria® Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease

This paper outlines the imaging modalities recommended for diagnosing and managing autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), focusing on the appropriateness of various imaging techniques. The authors aim to establish evidence-based guidelines for the use of ultrasound, MRI, and CT in diagnosing ADPKD, assessing kidney function, and identifying complications. The guidelines are developed through a systematic review of the literature and expert consensus to ensure optimal patient care.
