Coronary aneurysms and dissections in a patient with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease: a case report [PDF]

Journal of Medical Case Reports
Background Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is the most common hereditary kidney disorder, characterized by the progressive formation of renal cysts due to genetic mutations.

Polycystic horseshoe kidney [PDF]

Clinical and Experimental Nephrology, 2013
The association between ADPKD and horseshoe kidney is rare (1 in 134,000 to 1 in 8 million cases), and is reported in fewer than 20 cases in the literature. Co-occurrence of these diseases may lower the age of renal failure and favour the occurrence of symptoms. In this case, we performed a laparoscopic partial nephrectomy of the left renal unit of the

Effect of Early and Delayed Commencement of Paricalcitol in Combination with Enalapril on the Progression of Experimental Polycystic Kidney Disease

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2021
Vitamin D secosteroids are intranuclear regulators of cellular growth and suppress the renin-angiotensin system. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that the vitamin D receptor agonist, paricalcitol (PC), either alone or with enalapril (E ...

Kidney: polycystic kidney disease [PDF]

WIREs Developmental Biology, 2014
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a life‐threatening genetic disorder characterized by the presence of fluid‐filled cysts primarily in the kidneys. PKD can be inherited as autosomal recessive (ARPKD) or autosomal dominant (ADPKD) traits. Mutations in either the PKD1 or PKD2 genes, which encode polycystin 1 and polycystin 2, are the underlying cause of

Efficacy of beetroot juice on reducing blood pressure in hypertensive adults with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (BEET-PKD): study protocol for a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial

Trials, 2023
Background In autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) impaired nitric oxide (NO) synthesis, in part, contributes to early-onset hypertension. Beetroot juice (BRJ) reduces blood pressure (BP) by increasing NO-mediated vasodilation. The aim of

Polycystic Kidney Disease [PDF]

Annual Review of Medicine, 2009
A number of inherited disorders result in renal cyst development. The most common form, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), is a disorder most often diagnosed in adults and caused by mutation in PKD1 or PKD2. The PKD1 protein, polycystin-1, is a large receptor-like protein, whereas polycystin-2 is a transient receptor potential ...

Polycystic Kidney Disease [PDF]

Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2007
Renal cysts are common clinical findings, often incidentally discovered in the course of evaluating other problems. They may be either acquired or seen in association with a number of inherited and congenital disorders. The most common disorder, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), is an important cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD)
