Dissecting aneurysm in a patient with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.

چکیده
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is primarily associated with renal failure, but it also causes systemic diseases, including cysts of other systemic organs and cerebral or visceral aneurysm. To make matters worse, life-threatening aortic diseases are associated with ADPKD in some cases. However, only a few reports of ADPKD-associated with thoracic aortic dissection have been published. Herein, we present a case of dissecting aneurysm in a patient with hypertension and ADPKD. He had been followed up for type B aortic dissection for six years. Preoperative creatinine level ranged from 2.1 to 2.4 mg/dl. We performed replacement of the thoracic aorta with prosthetic graft successfully, and postoperatively, dialysis was not required.It is very important for us to recognize the relationship between ADPKD and thoracic aortic dissection, which can cause high mortality and morbidity rates.

OBJECTIVE Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is a multi-system disorder characterized by progressive cyst formation in the kidneys. Serious complications of ADPKD are intracranial and aortic aneurysms. The condition is mainly caused by mutations in the PKD1 or PKD2 gene. We have carefully analyzed vascular remodeling in hypomorphic Pkd1(nl/nL) mouse model with dissecting aneur...

Introduction: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is one of the most common genetic kidney disorders with the incidence of 1 in 1,000 births. ADPKD is genetically heterogeneous with two genes identified: PKD1 (16p13.3, 46 exons) and PKD2 (4q21, 15 exons). Eighty five percent of the patients with ADPKD have at least one mutation in the PKD1 gene. Genetic studies have demonstrate...

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common form of inherited kidney disease that results in renal failure. PKD currently has no causative therapy. However, some treatment options are available, ranging from symptomatic therapy to delaying the onset of end-stage renal failure. Early diagnosis of adult polycystic kidney disease is vital in order to prevent its complic...
