چکیده

Background: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) affects 12.5 million worldwide. Vasopressin drives cysts growth and in animal models can be suppressed through high water intake. A randomized controlled trial of 'high' versus 'standard' water intake in ADPKD is essential to determine if this intervention is beneficial. We conducted an ADPKD patient survey to gain an understanding of current fluid intake practices and the design challenges of a randomized water intake trial. Methods: In collaboration with the PKD Charity, we developed and distributed an online survey to ADPKD patients over age 16 years and not on renal replacement therapy. Results: Of the 2377 invited, 89 ADPKD patients completed the Survey of current water Intake practices in autosomal dominant Polycystic kidney disease (SIPs) online questionnaire. Most were female (65, 73%) and white (84, 94%), with a median age group of 45-49 years. The risk of contamination between treatment arms was highlighted by the survey as the majority (70, 79%) routinely discussed ADPKD management with family despite only 17% sharing the same household. More participants reported drinking beyond thirst (65, 73%) than those actually indicating a daily fluid intake of >2 L (54, 61%). This discrepancy emphasizes inaccuracies of fluid intake estimates and the requirement for objective methods of measuring water intake. Overall, only 51% believed high water intake was beneficial, while 91% were willing to participate in research evaluating this. Conclusion: ADPKD poses unique design challenges to a randomized water intake trial. However, the trial is likely to be supported by the ADPKD community and could impact significantly on PKD management and associated healthcare costs.

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...

Exon 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...
