چکیده

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common life-threatening hereditary disease of the kidney. It presents with progressive enlargement of the kidneys with numerous cysts that distort the parenchyma and result in progressive decline in kidney function. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is genetically modified with the responsible genes localized to separate loci on chromosome 16 (PKD1 gene), accounting for the majority of ADPKD cases, and chromosome 4 (PKD2 gene), accounting for the remainder. This review discusses the current understanding of the pathogenesis of ADPKD, focusing on renal volume and its pivotal role on the manifestations of the disease. Specifically, activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy, kidney function deterioration, pain, and hematuria are examined as consequences of renal volume increase. Recent developments on diagnostic modalities and criteria of the ADPKD are also discussed.

Fasting in a 16-year-old girl at-risk of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease

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...

Congenital Hepatic Fibrosis: An Uncommon Cause of Chronic Renal Failure

Congenital Hepatic Fibrosis (CHF) is a rare disease that affects both the liver and kidneys.  Congenital hepatic fibrosis (CHF) is an autosomal recessive inherited malformation defined pathologically by a variable degree of periportal fibrosis and irregularly shaped proliferating bile ducts. Affected individuals also have impaired renal function, usually caused, in children and teenagers, by an...

Volume progression in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease: the major factor determining clinical outcomes.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a hereditary condition characterized by the progressive enlargement of innumerable renal cysts that contribute to life-altering morbidity early in the course of the disease. Evidence indicates that the rate of increase in kidney volume can be reliably measured by magnetic resonance or computed tomography imaging, thus providing objective mea...

MOLECULAR STUDY OF PKD1 & PKD2 GENES BY LINKAGE ANALYSIS AND DETERMINING THE GENOTYPE/PHENOTYPE CORRELATIONS IN SEVERAL IRANIAN FAMILIES WITH AUTOSOMAL DOMINANT POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY DISEASE

 ABSTRACT Background: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is an inherited disorder with genetic heterogeneity. Up to three loci are involved in this disease, PKDI on chromosome 16p13.3, PKD2 on 4q21, and a third locus of unknown location. Methods: Here we report the first molecular genetic study of ADPKD and the existence oflocus heterogeneity for ADPKD in the Iranian populatio...

Ultrasonography is an accurate and accessible method for detecting polycystic kidney disease (PKD), an inherited autosomal dominant disease, and other urinary tract diseases. The present work is a preliminary study of PKD and urinary tract abnormalities using ultrasonography in Persian and other long hair cats in Iran. This study was conducted on 83 cats including 68 Persian cats and 15 Persian...
