Polycystic Kidney Disease [PDF]
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).

AMPK and Polycystic Kidney Disease Drug Development: An Interesting Off-Target Target
Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease is a genetic disease that causes dramatic perturbations of both renal tissue architecture and of a multitude of cellular signaling pathways.

Polycystic Kidney Disease [PDF]
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)

Health disparities in chronic liver disease
Abstract The syndemic of hazardous alcohol consumption, opioid use, and obesity has led to important changes in liver disease epidemiology that have exacerbated health disparities. Health disparities occur when plausibly avoidable health differences are experienced by socially disadvantaged populations.

Clinical and genetic characteristics of Korean autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease patients [PDF]
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common hereditary kidney disease. It is characterized by cyst growth in the kidneys, resulting in kidney enlargement and end-stage kidney disease. The polycystic kidney disease 1 (PKD1) and

Atypical Polycystic Kidney Disease as defined by Imaging
Using age- and height-adjusted total kidney volume, the Mayo Clinic Imaging Classification provides a validated approach to assess the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), but requires ...

Approximately 15% of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is caused by variants in PKD2. PKD2 encodes polycystin-2, which forms an ion channel in primary cilia and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes of renal collecting duct cells ...

Polycystic Kidney Disease [PDF]
Polycystic kidney disease, an inherited systemic disorder, is characterized by the development of multiple cysts in the kidneys and other organs. Patients can present at any age, but more often come to clinical attention (unless there is a family history) after age 30. Patients who are diagnosed before age 30 have a worse renal survival.

Insights into Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease from Genetic Studies.
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is the most common monogenic cause of ESKD. Genetic studies from patients and animal models have informed disease pathobiology and strongly support a "threshold model" in which cyst formation is triggered by ...
