Turner syndrome is a chromosomal disorder that involves multiple organ systems and is typically associated with short stature. A multidisciplinary approach with regular screening and surveillance is key to managing this condition's multiple comorbidities. We present a case of a young girl with Turner syndrome and associated short stature on growth hormone treatment who presented with cystic renal disease found to be autosomal dominant kidney disease. We propose reevaluation of renal screening guidelines in this population due to the potential association of growth hormone and cyst proliferation.
