u need to give me more information for eg ur age and family history.anyways going by ravines criteria u dont seem to have ADPKD. have enclosed the criteria below for ur viewing
Ravine et al.established age-dependent ultrasound diagnostic criteria for PKD1. Specifically, in at-risk individuals between 15 and 30 yr of age, at least two unilateral or bilateral kidney cysts; in individuals between 30 and 59 yr of age, two cysts in each kidney; and in individuals older than 60 yr, at least four cysts in each kidney. so it is absolutely by age.
if it is any other kidney disease apart from the cystic ones we cannot just tell it by the ultrasound alone u need to mention
1. blood pressure
2. urine examination for presence of proteinuria / hematuria
3. blood urea and serum creatinine
