While the basic clinical features and pathogenesis of isolated CHF have been thoroughly studied, patients frequently present variable combined phenotypes including autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and Von Meyenburg complex (VMC). The pathogenic mechanisms driving these composite phenotypes require further exploration.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods and results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We report a case of an adult female patient who was admitted due to unexplained upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
