Fig. 4: Natural history of ADPKD renal cysts.
From: Natural history of simple and complex cysts in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease on MRI
ADPKD simple renal cysts after transitioning from logistic growth to shrinking were observed to follow two pathways: 1. Disappear; 2. Hemorrhage with fluid-fluid level or fluid with blood clots (T1-bright solids), which leads to further shrinking, homogeneously T1-bright appearance, and eventually disappearing. Black = T1-bright; Blue = T2-bright.
