PR3 vasculitis presenting with symptomatic splenic and renal infarction: a case report and literature review.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is mainly characterised by the development and enlargement of renal cysts that lead to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in adult patients. Other clinical manifestations of this pathology include hypertension, haematuria, abdominal pain, cardiovascular system...
