Severe autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease [PDF]
A 61-year-old man with a known history of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and stage IV chronic kidney disease presented with a 6-month history of abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and fatigue. In addition to the ADPKD, the right kidney had a 4.4 cm inferior pole mass concerning for renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

Fetal polycystic kidney disease: Pathological overview
Polycystic kidney disease is a rare developmental anomaly inherited as autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive. It is characterized by cystic dilatation of the collecting ducts frequently associated with hepatic involvement and progression to renal ...

Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease: Core Curriculum 2016.
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common monogenic kidney disease. It is characterized by relentless development of kidney cysts, hypertension, and eventually end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

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 ...

Inference and Prediction Using Functional Principal Components Analysis: Application to Diabetic Kidney Disease Progression in the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) Study [PDF]
Repeated longitudinal measurements are commonly used to model long-term disease progression, and timing and number of assessments per patient may vary, leading to irregularly spaced and sparse data. Longitudinal trajectories may exhibit curvilinear patterns, in which mixed linear regression methods may fail to capture true trends in the data.

Hypertension in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease [PDF]
Hypertension is common and occurs in a majority of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) patients before the loss of kidney function. Hypertension relates to progressive kidney enlargement and is a significant independent risk factor for progression to ESRD.

Human asthenozoospermia: Update on genetic causes, patient management, and clinical strategies
Abstract Background In mammals, sperm fertilization potential relies on efficient progression within the female genital tract to reach and fertilize the oocyte. This fundamental property is supported by the flagellum, an evolutionarily conserved organelle, which contains dynein motor proteins that provide the mechanical force for sperm propulsion and ...

Sirolimus and kidney growth in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease [PDF]
BACKGROUND: In autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), aberrant activation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway is associated with progressive kidney enlargement. The drug sirolimus suppresses mTOR signaling. METHODS: In this
