Polycystic Kidney Disease. Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a genetic disorder characterized by the growth of numerous cysts in the kidneys.The kidneys are two organs, each about the size of a fist, located in the upper part of a person's abdomen, toward the back. The kidneys filter wastes and extra fluid from the blood to form urine. They also regulate amounts of certain vital substances in.
At the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) meeting on 3 November 2012, Dr Vicente Torrres from the Mayo Clinic, together with research collaborators, reported the results of a 3 year global study known as TEMPO - Tolvaptan Efficacy and Safety in Management of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease Outcomes.
Guidelines for Polycystic Kidney Disease, which were aimed at physicians and other health practitioners. These events provided the backdrop for the 2014 Clinical Practice Guidelines for Polycystic Kidney Disease, which were drawn up to answer the questions of physicians specializing in renal care. 2.
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is recognized as the most frequent Mendelian kidney disease. In Europe, ADPKD is the fourth diagnosis for both the incidence and prevalence of renal diseases that require replacement therapy and 1 in 10 patients needing renal replacement therapy has ADPKD. The predominant phenotype of ADPKD.
The research paper titled, 'Crystal deposition triggers tubule dilation that accelerates cystogenesis in polycystic kidney disease', is published in the The Journal of Clinical Investigation.
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD or PCKD, also known as polycystic kidney syndrome) is a genetic disorder in which the renal tubules become structurally abnormal, resulting in the development and growth of multiple cysts within the kidney. These cysts may begin to develop in utero, in infancy, in childhood, or in adulthood. Cysts are non-functioning tubules filled with fluid pumped into them.
