A member asked:
Does having large bilateral kidney cysts make me more likely to have cysts on other organs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Patients with adpckd, a hereditary condition, can also have cysts in the liver, pancreas, and spleen. Simple kidney cysts are not associated with cysts in other organs.
