A systems-biology approach to understanding the ciliopathy disorders. [PDF]
'Ciliopathies' are an emerging class of genetic multisystemic human disorders that are caused by a multitude of largely unrelated genes that affect ciliary structure/function.

ABSTRACT Background Nephrectomies are major surgeries often required in ADPKD for symptom control, removal of septic/malignant foci, and to create space for renal transplantation. Whether ADPKD patients should proceed with nephrectomy/ies should be guided by patient characteristics, technical considerations and anticipated risks and benefits. Methods A

Renal replacement therapy in ADPKD patients : a 25-year survey based on the Catalan registry [PDF]
Background: Some 7-10% of patients on replacement renal therapy (RRT) are receiving it because of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). The age at initiation of RRT is expected to increase over time.

Hypertension in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) has been shown to be associated with a greater than 50 percent incidence of hypertension prior to deterioration in renal function as assessed by glomerular filtration rate. The present study provides evidence for increased cardiac pre-load, as assessed by plasma atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) and ...

Robot‐assisted vs open kidney transplantation from deceased donors
Objectives To test the hypothesis that the type of surgical approach, robot‐assisted kidney transplantation (RAKT) vs open kidney transplantation (OKT), impacts intra‐operative and postoperative surgical outcomes of patients receiving kidney transplantation from deceased donors.

Defining the polycystin pharmacophore through high‐throughput screening and computational biophysics
An unbiased high throughput electrophysiology screen identifies potent PKD2L1 channel inhibitors with divergent chemical composition that bind to pore fenestration receptors and stabilise their inactivated state. Abstract Background and Purpose Polycystins (PKD2, PKD2L1) are voltage‐gated and Ca2+‐modulated members of the TRP family of ion channels ...

Chinese clinical practice guide for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease
常染色体显性多囊肾病(autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, ADPKD)是最常见的遗传性肾病,患病率为1/400~1/1000[1]。ADPKD主要致病基因有两个,PKD1和PKD2,其突变导致疾病分别约占发病人群的85%和15%[2-3]。该病为常染色体显性遗传病,子代发病机率为50%。患者多在成年后出现双侧肾脏囊肿,随年龄增长,逐渐损害肾脏结构和功能[4 ...
