In uremic and dialysed patients, acquired renal cystic disease (ARCD) and its possible neoplastic degeneration are well-known. The aim of the paper is to assess the incidence of this pathology among dialysed patients in our Renal Unit. Final results have been achieved after three years. The evidence is that this pathology increases in older patients with respect to age and/or to long-term dialysis; we confirm neoplastic degeneration in two patients.
