Emerging key roles for P2X receptors in the kidney [PDF]
P2X ionotropic non-selective cation channels are expressed throughout the kidney and are activated in a paracrine or autocrine manner following the binding of extracellular ATP and related extracellular nucleotides. Whilst there is a wealth of literature

Extrarenal manifestations of ADPKD
A 47-year-old woman was evaluated in the Nephrology Clinic at New England Medical Center for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). She had undergone abdominal and pelvic noncontrast computed tomographic scans for the evaluation of dyspareunia and stress incontinence.

Cardiovascular Manifestations and Management in ADPKD
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the major cause of mortality in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and contributes to significant burden of disease. The manifestations are varied, including left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), intracranial aneurysms (ICAs), valvular heart disease, and cardiomyopathies; however, the most common ...

Renal Volume in ADPKD Patient Evaluation [PDF]
The clinical manifestations of ADPKD are related to the growth of renal cysts. Renal volume has been recognised as the biomarker that is able to identify those patients at risk of complications (hypertension and haematuria) and at risk of progression to End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD).

Structural and molecular basis of the assembly of the TRPP2/PKD1 complex [PDF]
Mutations in PKD1 and TRPP2 account for nearly all cases of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). These 2 proteins form a receptor/ion channel complex on the cell surface. Using a combination of biochemistry, crystallography, and a single-

Emerging targeted strategies for the treatment of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. [PDF]
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a widespread genetic disease that leads to renal failure in the majority of patients. The very first pharmacological treatment, tolvaptan, received Food and Drug Administration approval in 2018 ...

Post‐Translational Modifications in Cilia and Ciliopathies
This review synthesizes current understanding of post‐translational modifications (PTMs) in ciliary proteins and emphasizes their roles in ciliary formation, homeostasis, and signaling. This review also discusses the implication of PTM dysregulation in ciliopathies and explores therapeutic strategies targeting PTM‐modifying enzymes.

International consensus statement on the diagnosis and management of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease in children and young people [PDF]
These recommendations were systematically developed on behalf of the Network for Early Onset Cystic Kidney Disease (NEOCYST) by an international group of experts in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) from paediatric and adult nephrology,

LRP5 variants may contribute to ADPKD [PDF]
Mutations in Polycystic Kidney Disease proteins (PKD1 or PKD2) are causative for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). However, a small subset of ADPKD probands do not harbor a mutation in any of the known genes. Low density lipoprotein Receptor-related Protein 5 (LRP5) was recently associated with hepatic cystogenesis in isolated ...
