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

Polycystic kidney disease [PDF]
Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2018 Cystic kidneys are common causes of end-stage renal disease, both in children and in adults. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) are cilia-related disorders and the two main forms of monogenic cystic kidney diseases.

An Empirical Biomarker-based Calculator for Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease - The Nieto-Narayan Formula [PDF]
, 2016 Autosomal polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is associated with progressive enlargement of the kidneys fuelled by the formation and expansion of fluid-filled cysts.

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

Polycystic Kidney Disease [PDF]
New England Journal of Medicine, 1989 The Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a genetic disease which is characterized by the gradual emergence of cystic lesions in the kidneys, which replace the renal parenchyma causing deterioration of its function to stage 5. The PKD is one of the causes of Chronic Kidney Disease on renal replacement therapy (RRT).

Horseshoe polycystic kidney [PDF]
Clinical Kidney Journal, 2013 A 38-year-old man with known autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) was electively admitted to our institution for open bilateral nephrectomies. A routine computed tomography scan had demonstrated a cyst at the upper pole of the left kidney with changes suspicious of malignancy and para-aortic adenopathy.

Dual mTOR/PI3K inhibition limits PI3K-dependent pathways activated upon mTOR inhibition in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease [PDF]
, 2018 Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is characterized by the development of kidney cysts leading to kidney failure in adulthood. Inhibition of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) slows polycystic kidney disease (PKD) progression in ...

Vasopressin regulates the growth of the biliary epithelium in polycystic liver disease [PDF]
, 2016 The neurohypophysial hormone arginine vasopressin (AVP) acts by three distinct receptor subtypes: V1a, V1b, and V2. In the liver, AVP is involved in ureogenesis, glycogenolysis, neoglucogenesis and regeneration. No data exist about the presence of AVP in

Magnetic resonance imaging 3t and total fibrotic volume in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease [PDF]
, 2018 INTRODUCTION: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common renal hereditary disorder. Several authors have attempted to identify a kidney damage marker for predicting the prognosis and the effectiveness of therapy in ADPKD ...
