Project description:BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Both increased arterial stiffness and vascular endothelial dysfunction are evident in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, even early in the course of the disease when kidney function in preserved. Vascular dysfunction in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is thought to be related to vascular oxidative stress and inflammation, but direct evidence is lacking. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS:We assessed carotid-femoral pulse-wave velocity (arterial stiffness) and brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (vascular endothelial function) in participants with early-stage autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (eGFR?60 ml/min per 1.73 m2) and a history of controlled hypertension and in healthy controls. Brachial artery flow-mediated dilation was also assessed after infusion of ascorbic acid to inhibit vascular oxidative stress compared with saline. Vascular endothelial cells were collected from a peripheral vein to measure expression of proteins, and circulating markers were also assessed by ELISA or liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. RESULTS:In total, 61 participants with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (34±9 years old [mean±SD]) and 19 healthy controls (30±5 years old) were studied. Carotid-femoral pulse-wave velocity was higher in participants with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease compared with healthy controls (650±131 versus 562±81 cm/s; P=0.007). Brachial artery flow-mediated dilation was 8.2%±5.8% in participants with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease and 10.8%±4.7% in controls (P=0.08). Among participants with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, flow-mediated dilation increased from 7.7%±4.5% to 9.4%±5.2% with ascorbic acid, a difference of 1.72 (95% confidence interval, 0.80 to 2.63), whereas in control participants, flow-mediated dilation decreased nonsignificantly from 10.8%±4.7% to 10.6%±5.4%, a difference of -0.20 (95% confidence interval, -1.24 to 0.84; P interaction =0.02). Endothelial cell protein expression of NF-?B was greater in participants with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (0.48±0.12 versus 0.41±0.10 [intensity versus human umbilical vein endothelial cell control]; P=0.03). However, circulating oxidative stress markers and bioactive lipid mediators did not significantly differ according to the autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS:These results provide support for the hypothesis that vascular oxidative stress and inflammation develop with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.

Project description:Adults with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) exhibit vascular dysfunction, as evidenced by impaired endothelium-dependent dilation (EDD) and stiffening of the large elastic arteries. However, it is unknown whether vascular dysfunction begins earlier in the course of ADPKD. The aim of the study was to assess EDD and arterial stiffness in children and young adults with ADPKD.Fifteen children and young adults 6–22 years of age with ADPKD and normal renal function were prospectively recruited for participation in a cross-sectional study. Fifteen healthy controls were enrolled to match cases for age and sex. The primary outcomes were EDD, measured as brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMDBA), and arterial stiffness, measured as carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (CFPWV).ADPKD cases were more likely to be taking an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, but otherwise did not differ from controls in clinical characteristics, including blood pressure. FMDBA was 25% lower in children and young adults with ADPKD (7.7 ± 0.9%, mean ± SE) when compared with matched controls (10.2 ± 0.8%) (P < 0.05). CFPWV was 14% higher in children and young adults with ADPKD (544 ± 23 cm/s) when compared with matched controls (478 ± 17 cm/s) (P < 0.05). Secondary measures of arterial stiffness, carotid augmentation index and carotid systolic blood pressure were also increased in cases when compared with controls (P < 0.05).Impaired EDD and increased arterial stiffness, important independent predictors of future cardiovascular events and mortality, are evident very early in the course of ADPKD in the presence of normal kidney function. Novel interventions to reduce vascular dysfunction in children and young adults with ADPKD should be evaluated, as childhood and young adulthood may represent a critical therapeutic window to reduce future cardiovascular risk in patients with ADPKD.

Project description:Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is an inherited disorder affecting 1 in 1,000 people and responsible for 10% of cases of the end stage renal disease (ESRD). Apart from renal manifestations, changes in other organs may be present. In the absence of contraindications, patients with ADPKD and ESRD should be referred to renal transplantation. The ADPKD patient may also need liver transplantation, or combined liver and kidney transplantation. Also, the patient with ADPKD may become a potential organ donor. The aim of our paper is to review the problems that the physicians deal with in ADPKD patients in pre- and post-transplant period.

Project description:Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is an inherited multisystem disorder, characterized by renal and extra-renal fluid-filled cyst formation and increased kidney volume that eventually leads to end-stage renal disease. ADPKD is considered the fourth leading cause of end-stage renal disease in the United States and globally. Care of patients with ADPKD was, for a long time, limited to supportive lifestyle measures, due to the lack of therapeutic strategies targeting the main pathways involved in the pathophysiology of ADPKD. As the first FDA approved treatment of ADPKD, Vasopressin (V2) receptor blocking agent, tolvaptan, is an urgently awaited advance for ADPKD patients. In our review, we also shed some lights on what is beyond Tolvaptan as there are other medications in the pipeline and many medications have been or are currently being studied in clinical trials such as Tesevatinib, Metformin and Pravastatin, with the goal of slowing the rate of progression of ADPKD by reducing the increase in total kidney volume or maintaining eGFR. Here, we review updates in the perspectives and management of ADPKD.

Project description:Autosomal dominant polycystic disease (ADPKD) is the most common form of inherited kidney disease that results in renal failure. The understanding of the pathogenesis of ADPKD has advanced significantly since the discovery of the 2 causative genes, PKD1 and PKD2. Dominantly inherited gene mutations followed by somatic second-hit mutations inactivating the normal copy of the respective gene result in renal tubular cyst formation that deforms the kidney and eventually impairs its function. The respective gene products, polycystin-1 and polycystin-2, work together in a common cellular pathway. Polycystin-1, a large receptor molecule, forms a receptor-channel complex with polycystin-2, which is a cation channel belonging to the TRP family. Both polycystin proteins have been localized to the primary cilium, a nonmotile microtubule-based structure that extends from the apical membrane of tubular cells into the lumen. Here we discuss recent insights in the pathogenesis of ADPKD including the genetics of ADPKD, the properties of the respective polycystin proteins, the role of cilia, and some cell-signaling pathways that have been implicated in the pathways related to PKD1 and PKD2.

Project description:Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common inherited kidney disease and results from mutations in PKD1 or PKD2. Cyst initiation and expansion arise from a combination of abnormal cell proliferation, fluid secretion and extracellular matrix defects and results in kidney enlargement and interstitial fibrosis. Since its first description over 200 years ago, ADPKD has been considered an untreatable condition and its management is limited to blood pressure reduction and symptomatic treatment of disease complications. Results of the recently reported TEMPO 3/4 trial thus represent a paradigm shift in demonstrating for the first time that cystic disease and loss of renal function can be slowed in humans. In this paper, we review the major therapeutic strategies currently being explored in ADPKD including a range of novel approaches in preclinical models. It is anticipated that the clinical management of ADPKD will undergo a revolution in the next decade with the translation of new treatments into routine clinical use.

Project description:The clinical use of conventional ultrasonography (US) in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is currently limited by reduced diagnostic sensitivity, especially in at-risk subjects younger than 30 years of age. In this single-center prospective study, we compared the diagnostic performance of MRI with that of high-resolution (HR) US in 126 subjects ages 16-40 years born with a 50% risk of ADPKD who underwent both these renal imaging studies and comprehensive PKD1 and PKD2 mutation screening. Concurrently, 45 healthy control subjects without a family history of ADPKD completed the same imaging protocol. We analyzed 110 at-risk subjects whose disease status was unequivocally defined by molecular testing and 45 unaffected healthy control subjects. Using a total of >10 cysts as a test criterion in subjects younger than 30 years of age, we found that MRI provided both a sensitivity and specificity of 100%. Comparison of our results from HR US with those from a previous study of conventional US using the test criterion of a total of three or more cysts found a higher diagnostic sensitivity (approximately 97% versus approximately 82%) with a slightly decreased specificity (approximately 98% versus 100%) in this study. Similar results were obtained in test subjects between the ages of 30 and 40 years old. These results suggest that MRI is highly sensitive and specific for diagnosis of ADPKD. HR US has the potential to rival the diagnostic performance of MRI but is both center- and operator-dependent.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is responsible for 10% of cases of the end stage renal disease. Early diagnosis, especially of potential fast progressors would be of benefit for efficient planning of therapy. Urine excreted proteome has become a promising field of the search for marker patterns of renal diseases including ADPKD. Up to now however, only the low molecular weight fraction of ADPKD proteomic fingerprint was studied. The aim of our study was to characterize the higher molecular weight fraction of urinary proteome of ADPKD population in comparison to healthy controls as a part of a general effort aiming at exhaustive characterization of human urine proteome in health and disease, preceding establishment of clinically useful disease marker panel. RESULTS:We have analyzed the protein composition of urine retentate (>10?kDa cutoff) from 30 ADPKD patients and an appropriate healthy control group by means of a gel-free relative quantitation of a set of more than 1400 proteins. We have identified an ADPKD-characteristic footprint of 155 proteins significantly up- or downrepresented in the urine of ADPKD patients. We have found changes in proteins of complement system, apolipoproteins, serpins, several growth factors in addition to known collagens and extracellular matrix components. For a subset of these proteins we have confirmed the results using an alternative analytical technique. CONCLUSIONS:Obtained results provide basis for further characterization of pathomechanism underlying the observed differences and establishing the proteomic prognostic marker panel.

Project description:BackgroundAutosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is a lifelong progressive disorder. However, how age, blood pressure, and stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD) affect the rate of kidney function deterioration is not clearly understood.MethodsIn this long-term observational case study up to 13.9 years (median observation period for slope was 3.3 years), serum creatinine was serially measured in 255 mostly adult patients. The glomerular filtration rate was estimated (eGFR) using a modified Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study method. The total kidney volume (TKV) has been measured in 86 patients at one center since 2006.ResultsAs age increased, eGFR declined significantly (P < 0.0001), but the annual rate of decline of eGFR did not correlate with age or initially measured eGFR. In patients with CKD stage 1, eGFR declined at a rate which was not significantly different from other advanced CKD stages. Hypertensive patients had lower eGFR and larger TKV than normotensive patients at a young adult age. The slopes of regression lines of eGFR and TKV in relation to age were not different between high and normal blood pressure groups.ConclusionThe declining rate of eGFR was relatively constant and did not correlate with age or eGFR after adolescence. eGFR was already low in young adult patients with hypertension. As age increased after adolescence, eGFR declined and TKV increased similarly between normal and high blood pressure groups. eGFR starts to decline in patients with normal eGFR, suggesting that the decline starts earlier than previously thought.
