Table 4 Number of controls without MRI features of cyst infection and intracystic changes, and the specificity 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 controls (n=147)

Controls with TKLV < 3000 cm3 (n=39)

Controls with TKLV 3000 to < 5500 cm3 (n=35)

Controls with TKLV 5500 to <8500 cm3 (n=35)

Controls with TKLV >8500 cm3 (n=38)
