Natural history of patients with tuberous sclerosis complex-related renal angiomyolipoma.

CONCLUSIONS: Patients with TSC- renal angiomyolipoma had high rates of kidney-related outcomes and procedures. These events sometimes preceded the angiomyolipoma diagnosis. Key study limitation was that due to the small sample size, results may have been biased by outliers. Research is needed to determine if earlier angiomyolipoma diagnosis can impact occurrence of events and reduce healthcare utilization. PMID: 28358266 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
