I think, The best is monitoring with yearly renal function test, to see of renal failure progression.

Renal USG is just confirmatory of disease (ie, 5 cysts is confirmatory)

I am sure the answer is "Monitoring with yearly renal function tests". "Screening using renal ultrasonography" is right only if "yearly" screening. Remember most of these patients will not have any problem until they are in their 40s.
