ADPKD Flashcards
risk factors for PKD
males
causes of PKD
PKD1 (faster progression), PDK2
types of PKD
autosomal dominant/recessive
pathophysis of PKD
Transmembrane protein on the cilia of nephron tubules -> one hit -> no effect -> 2 hits -> increased prolif + remodelling of ECM -> cyst formation -> fluid secretion -> decreased eGFR
The decline of eGFR of 5ml after 50ml reached
symptoms of PKD
asymptomatic
cyst rupture -> flank pain + haematuria + protein urea + infection
high RAAS -> hypertension
investigations PKD
low EGFR, genetic test, ultrasound (2 cysts per kidney <30, 4 60+)
treatment of PKD
ACE, intake 3L+, na restriction, avoid caffine, tolvaptan (ADH antagonist), haemodialysis, surgery
complications of PKD
cerebral aneurysm, mitral valve prolapse, liver cysts, uterine cysts, testicular cysts, diverticula herina, thyroid cysts
