چکیده

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most frequent hereditary renal disease and is often encountered in the work-up of renal patients. The diagnosis is obvious in advanced stages, but may be very difficult in young individuals in whom the need to provide a correct diagnosis is particularly pressing. By ultrasonography cysts are round or oval, echolucent, thin-walled, clearly delineated structures with smooth contours exhibiting sharply demarcated

Emerging Therapies for Childhood Polycystic Kidney Disease

Cystic kidney diseases comprise a varied collection of hereditary disorders, where renal cysts comprise a major element of their pleiotropic phenotype. In pediatric patients, the term polycystic kidney disease (PKD) commonly refers to two specific hereditary diseases, autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Remarkable progr...

Macrophages promote polycystic kidney disease progression

Renal M2-like macrophages have critical roles in tissue repair, stimulating tubule cell proliferation and, if they remain, fibrosis. M2-like macrophages have also been implicated in promoting cyst expansion in mouse models of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). While renal macrophages have been documented in human ADPKD, there are no studies in autosomal recessive polycystic k...

Proliferative activity of cyst epithelium in human renal cystic diseases.

Increased proliferative activity of the renal tubular epithelium is thought to be a prerequisite for renal cyst formation by many investigators. However, in humans, the exact in vivo proliferation rate of epithelial cells lining these cysts is not known. In this study, which used immunohistochemical methods with an antibody to proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), the proliferation index (...

Polycystic Kidney Disease: The Cyst-ematic Destruction of Renal Function

Polycystic kidney disease is the most common genetic, life-threatening disease, affecting more than 12.5 million people worldwide. Fluid-filled renal cysts that eventually destroy renal tissue and renal function altogether are characteristic of polycystic kidney disease. The autosomal dominant form of the disease which is also the most common form, ADPKD, is linked to mutations in the genes PKD...

Decreased amiloride-sensitive Na+ absorption in collecting duct principal cells isolated from BPK ARPKD mice.

The main feature of polycystic kidney diseases (PKD) is formation and progressive enlargement of renal cysts. Alterations in epithelial cell proliferation, extracellular matrix, and ion transport are thought to contribute to cyst enlargement and loss of renal function. Abnormal Cl- secretion is implicated in cyst enlargement in autosomal dominant PKD (ADPKD), but little is known about transport...
