Influence of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene rs4362 polymorphism on the progression of kidney failure in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD)
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is an inherited systemic disorder, characterized by the fluid filled cysts in the kidneys leading to end stage renal failure in later years of life. Hypertension is one of the major factors independently contributing to the chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression. The renin-angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) genes ...
متن کاملExon Sequencing of PKD1 Gene in an Iranian Patient with Autosomal-Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease
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...
متن کاملAngiotensin blockade in late autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.
BACKGROUND Hypertension develops early in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and is associated with disease progression. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is implicated in the pathogenesis of hypertension in patients with ADPKD. Dual blockade of the RAAS may circumvent compensatory mechanisms that limit the efficacy of monotherapy with an angiotensi...
متن کاملAutosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.
The lack of reliable data on frequency, age of onset, survival, spontaneous mutation rate and prognosis in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is a continual source of frustration to physicians involved in counselling patients and their relatives. The only major study to address all of these issues in a defined population was presented by Dalgaard as a 251-page doctoral thesis in 1957 ...
متن کاملAutosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease
recessive forms (1–3), autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) with an incidence of 1 : 500 to 1 : 1000 is one of the commonest hereditary diseases (4). Some 5 million people worldwide are affected. In many countries ADPKD is the fourth most frequent cause of end-stage renal failure. About 85% of these diseases are caused by mutations in the PKD1 gene, the remaining 15% are due to ...
