Filter by:This pilot study will compare endothelial function in patients with ADPKD with matched healthy volunteers and normotensive chronic kidney disease stage 1 & 2 patients. Patients will undergo a single assessment of endothelial function and measurement of plasma and urine levels of biomarkers of endothelial function.
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is first genetic kidney disease and fourth etiology of end stage renal disease in the world. Peritoneal dialysis is underuse in this population. Indeed in this pathology, behind big kidneys and big liver, a hyper pressure is feared with technical failure. The lack of abdominal space could generate increase of peritoneal pressure. Hyper pressure is already known to be a risk factor of technical failure and over mortality in peritoneal dialysis patients (all nephropathies included). It depends on body mass index and body surface modulating injected volume for each patient. Anticipate peritoneal pressure in this population ADPKD could be an important information for distinguish those who can use peritoneal dialysis without fear and those at risk of technical failure. The primary objective is to create and validate prediction score for intra-peritoneal pressure, in peritoneal dialysis for ADPKD patients thanks to clinical and radiological values. The secondary objectives are to study the association between intra-peritoneal pressure and patient's outcome (global survival and technical survival). Retrospective, multicentric, national, cohort study will be performed. For the first step (score creation): ADPKD patients starting peritoneal dialysis for end stage renal failure between 01/01/2010 and 31/12/2015 with tomodensitometry between one year before beginning and one year after were included. For the second step (score validation): ADPKD patients starting peritoneal dialysis for end stage renal failure between 01/01/2016 and 31/12/2017 with tomodensitometry between one year before beginning and one year after were included.
To evaluate the safety and therapeutic effectiveness of tolvaptan when administered to slow the progression of cyst development and renal function insufficiency in adult Korean patients diagnosed with rapidly progressive ADPKD who have chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 1-3 at initiation of treatment.
Pathological features of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney disease (ADPKD) include enlarged kidney volume, a higher frequency of digestive diverticulitis and abdominal wall hernias. Therefore, many nephrologists have concerns about the use of peritoneal dialysis (PD) in ADPKD patients. We aimed to analyze survival and technique failure in ADPKD patients treated with PD.
ADPKD is the most common form of hereditary kidney disease and is known to occur in 1 of 400 to 1000 population in the U.S. ADPKD consists of 2.8% of patients receiving kidney transplantation in the investigator's center. It is known that ADPKD is associated with vascular anomalies, including abdominal aneurysms, valvular anomalies and especially intracranial aneurysms. Intracranial aneurysms occur in 9~12% of the ADPKD population which is higher than 2~3% in the general population and is known to be associated with PKD1 or PKD2 heritage. Until now, most of the studies regarding intracranial aneurysms in ADPKD are conducted in animal models, and there are only few cellular studies conducted from human samples. Total 154 patients received kidney transplantation for ADPKD from 1994 to December 2018 at Asan Medical Center, Seoul, Korea. While performing kidney transplantation to ESRD ADPKD patients, nephrectomy has been routinely performed for polycystic kidney and the nephrectomy specimens can be obtained. The objective of this study is to investigate the mechanism of intracranial aneurysm in ADPKD patients by analyzing gene characteristics from nephrectomy specimens.
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common inherited renal disorder. Tolvaptan has been approved in Canada as a treatment for ADPKD. Tolvaptan is an arginine vasopressin receptor antagonist which has been shown to decrease the progression of ADPKD. The main side effect of this treatment is increased urine output which leads to cessation of therapy in about 20% of patients. Low solute (low sodium, low protein) diet may alleviate this side effect. This is a single arm before / after study of dietary intervention on urine output and quality of life in ADPKD patients on a stable dose of tolvaptan.
Polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a common genetic disorder, characterized by the formation of cysts in the kidneys, causing gradual renal function-loss. Previous studies have shown that, reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and renal plasma flow (RPF) play a role in the progression of renal disease in ADPKD. Tolvaptan is a vasopressin 2 antagonist, which seems to reduce the growth of total kidney volume (TKV) and the decline in e-GFR in ADPKD. The mechanism is not fully understood and could, at least partly, be caused by stimulation of the renal blood flow. The purpose of this trial is to investigate if tolvaptan´s improve renal blood flow and glomerular filtration in ADPKD, in a randomized, cross-over, double-blind, placebo-controlled study.
This is a single center, comparative cohort study to investigate alterations in hepatic transporter function in subjects with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) compared to healthy subjects and subjects with non-ADPKD renal disease. Eligible subjects will be 18-65 years of age and of any race/ethnicity and gender.
Primary Objective: To study the effect of mild, moderate and severe renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of Venglustat following a single dose. Secondary Objective: To assess the tolerability of Venglustat given as a single dose in subjects with mild, moderate and severe renal impairment in comparison with matched subjects with normal renal function.
This study involves a single family, including 1 patient, father, mother and sister. The patient presented with a new phenotype associating premature white hair, renal polycystosis, aortic dilation/dissection and lymphopenia. Samples were taken in order to identify the origin of the symptomatology highlighted in the index case. In addition, it was observed that mice invalidated for bcl-2, normal at birth and indistinguishable from control mice, showed, after one week, a phenotype similar to that observed in this patient. The overlap between the patient's main clinical signs (lymphopenia, white hair and polycystic renal disease) and the manifestations presented by the invalidated murine model for BCL2 suggests that its phenotype may be secondary to a Bcl-2 expression defect.
