Table 3 Number of episodes in cases with positive MRI features of cyst infection and intracystic changes, and the sensitivity of each MRI feature and intracystic changes in four groups stratified by TKLV

From: Intracystic magnetic resonance imaging in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease: features of severe cyst infection in a case–control study

 

All episodes in cases (n=88)

Cases with TKLV < 3000 cm3 (n=13)

Cases with TKLV 3000 to <5500 cm3 (n=39)

Cases with TKLV 5500 to 8500 cm3 (n=17)

Cases with TKLV >8500 cm3 (n=17)
