The Clinical and Mutational Spectrum of 69 Turkish Children with Autosomal Recessive or Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study

Differentiation of ARPKD and ADPKD, and identification of the predictors of the development of CKD are vital for optimal management of patients with ARPKD or ADPKD.Nephron
