Core Tip	Polycystic kidney disease is the most common genetic disorder affecting the kidney. The two main forms are autosomal dominant polycystic disease and autosomal recessive polycystic disease. It can lead to numerous complications with a natural progression leading to End stage kidney disease. Though the disease is well known and described in developed countries, its characteristics are still poorly understood in Africa. Indeed, as it appear in the present review, few studies regarding this disease were performed in the continent but reveal that advanced symptoms are already present in most of patients at the time of the diagnostic and the few studies with genetic testing revealed many new mutations.
