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.

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 ...

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 ...

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).

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
