Retrospective cohort study found varied outcomes in fetal ADPKD, indicating the need for careful prenatal diagnosis and management.

Most infants with fetal ADPKD maintained normal renal function, with chronic kidney disease occurring in only two cases.
Increased cortical echogenicity and loss of corticomedullary differentiation accurately predicted adverse outcomes in prenatal imaging.
Observational study of 20 cases highlighted the importance of structured prenatal ultrasonography and follow-up.
Findings suggest potential for tailored perinatal management based on prenatal diagnosis of ADPKD.

Kim et al. (2025) studied this question.
