Objective — to evaluate the results of a comprehensive study echographic kidney and liver in children with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease.

Patients and methods. A total of 9 children with this pathology in age from 3 to 16 years. The median age was 6,2 ± 2,3 years. The boy was 7, girls — 2. Sonographic study was conducted according to standard protocols for devices Acuson X300 (Siemens, Germany), MyLab Class C (ESAOTE, Italy). Convex used multifrequency 2–5 MHz. For the purpose of detailed study of the renal parenchyma and liver used high_frequency sensors scan 10 MHz.

Results. When sonographic study of all cases revealed a combined kidney and liver. If changes in liver ehogepatografii fit into the picture of fibrotic changes of varying severity. All patients had bilateral renal, kidney size indicators were greater age from 50 to 75%. The contours of the kidney were equal, precise. Differentiation parenchymal layer and pyelocaliceal system practically determined.

Conclusions. In all cases with complex sonographic study found structural changes in the kidney and liver, as well as changes in the indices of regional renal and hepatic blood flow.
