Polycystic kidney disease [PDF]
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.

MicroRNAs and Polycystic Kidney Disease [PDF]
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD), the most common genetic cause of chronic renal failure, is characterized by the presence of numerous fluid-filled cysts in renal parenchyma. Despite recent progress, no FDA-approved therapy is available to retard cyst growth.

MicroRNAs and Polycystic Kidney Disease [PDF]
Important advances have been made regarding the diagnosis and management of polycystic kidney diseases. Care of patients with polycystic kidney diseases has moved beyond supportive care for complications and chronic kidney disease to new potentially ...

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 ...

Polycystic Kidney Disease [PDF]
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]
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]
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
