| Abstract |
Renal cysts are a common radiological finding in both adults and children. They occur in a variety of conditions, and the clinical presentation, management, and prognosis varies widely. In this article, we discuss the major causes of renal cysts in children and adults with a particular focus on the most common genetic forms. Many cystoproteins have been localized to the cilia centrosome complex (CCC). We consider the evidence for a universal 'cilia hypothesis' for cyst formation and the evidence for non-ciliary proteins in cyst formation. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 20 January 2023.
All research outputs
#7,500,672
of 23,567,572 outputs
Outputs from Pediatric Nephrology
#1,497
of 3,673 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#53,392
of 165,630 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Pediatric Nephrology
#5
of 18 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,567,572 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 67th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,673 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 5.0. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 58% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 165,630 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 66% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 18 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 72% of its contemporaries.
