MicroRNAs and Polycystic Kidney Disease [PDF]
Drug Discovery Today: Disease Models, 2013 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.

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 ...

The Value of Genetic Testing in Polycystic Kidney Diseases Illustrated by a Family With PKD2 and COL4A1 Mutations. [PDF]
Am J Kidney Dis, 2018 The diagnosis of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) relies on imaging criteria in the setting of a positive familial history. Molecular analysis, seldom used in clinical practice, identifies a causative mutation in >90% of cases in the ...

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

Health disparities in chronic liver disease
Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 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.

Polycystic Kidney Disease [PDF]
Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2007 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)

Polycystic Kidney Disease [PDF]
The Journal of Clinical Hypertension, 2005 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.
