Fetal renal cystic disease and post-natal follow up—a single center experience
IntroductionPrenatal sonographic evidence of large, echogenic, or cystic kidneys may indicate any one of a diverse set of disorders including renal ciliopathies, congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT), or multisystem syndromic ...

Hepatopancreaticobiliary pathology in the PCK model of ARPKD
Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease (ARPKD) results in renal and hepatic fibrocystic pathology. This study evaluated hepatobiliary pathology in PCK rats, an orthologous model of slowly progressive ARPKD. Male and female rats were evaluated from 4–35 weeks, quantifying organ growth, serology, bile flow

Is There a Functional Role of Mitochondrial Dysfunction in the Pathogenesis of ARPKD? [PDF]
Polycystic kidney diseases (PKD) form a group of severe genetic kidney diseases that are characterized by fibrocystic changes of the kidneys and the liver. The main forms of PKD are autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD, ARPKD).

3D Liver Fibrosis Models in Lab: A Novel Modality for Drug Screening
ABSTRACT Liver fibrosis is the common consequence of liver injury caused by a variety of chronic liver disorders. This condition leads to the development of more severe complications, particularly cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Despite abundant studies, the fundamental cell and molecular mechanisms of liver fibrosis are still unknown.

Role of genetic modifiers in an orthologous rat model of ARPKD
Human data and animal models of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) suggest that genetic factors modulate the onset and severity of the disease. We report here for the first time that ARPKD susceptibility is attenuated by introgressing the mutated Pkhd1 disease allele from the polycystic kidney (PCK) rat onto the FHH (Fawn-Hooded ...

ABSTRACT To investigate the correlation between genetic abnormalities and fetal genitourinary (GU) anomalies in Eastern China and to provide assistance for the clinical management of fetuses with different types of GU anomalies. Five hundred forty‐five fetuses with GU anomalies were enrolled, undergoing karyotyping, copy number variation sequencing ...

Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) and other hepatorenal fibrocystic diseases (HRFD) are relatively rare recessive disorders that constitute an important set of childhood nephropathies.

Telmisartan ameliorates fibrocystic liver disease in an orthologous rat model of human autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease. [PDF]
Human autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) produces kidneys which are massively enlarged due to multiple cysts, hypertension, and congenital hepatic fibrosis characterized by dilated bile ducts and portal hypertension.

Paediatric renal transplantation: Paediatric surgeons' perspective
Abstract Renal transplantation is the most effective treatment for paediatric end‐stage renal disease (ESRD), offering advantages in survival, growth and neurocognitive development that surpass other renal replacement therapies (RRT). The paediatric setting, however, introduces distinct complexities that distinguish it from adult practice.
