Inherited Kidney Disorders Flashcards
how is polycystic disease most commonly inherited?
autosomal dominant
most common hereditary severe kidney disease
autosomal odminant polycystic kidney disease
most common genetic mutation in polycystic kidney disease and where it is?
PDK1 gene on chromosome 16
PDL2 mutation is present on what chromosome?
4
which genetic mutation is most common in PKD?
PKD 1
PKD2 patients develop end stage kidney disease quicker than PKD1 patients: T or F
F, PKD1 do
cycts arise from what structures of the kidney in PKD?
renal tubules
do cysts affect the overall kidney size?
yes, kidneys get much bigger
why do patients experience pain in PKD?
stretching of the renal capsule due to hypertrophy
can get infection of the cyst
why can you get haematuria in PKD?
cyst rupture
cystitis
stones
what does the urine of someone with ADPKD look like and why?
very dilute, cannot concentrate their urine
how is cyst infection treated?
need to inject Abs straight into the cyst
general Tx of ADPKD
control risk factors - ht etc hydrate patients tolvaptan to decrease cyst vol dialysis renal transplant
hypertension is found at a very young age in ADPDK patients T or F
T
why do you get oedema symptoms in ADPKD?
cysts can compress:
renal veins
IVC
which tends to present first:
liver cysts
renal cysts
renal (usually about 10yrs before liver)
liver function is massively altered in ADPKD T or F
F, usually stays the same
patients with ADPKD who have a family history of what condition should be screened as they are at risk?
intracranial aneurysms
cardiac effects of ADPKD?
valvular disease - mitral/aortic valve prolapse
incidence of hernias is increased in ADPKD T or F
T
how is ADPKD diagnosed radiologically?
USS
CT/MRI if USS is unclear
what would you be looking for on imaging of ADPKD?
renal enlargement
bilateral cysts
are cysts usually bilateral or unilateral in autosomal recessive PKD?
bilateral
how would you investigate ADPKD using genetics?
take a family history
linkage and mutation analysis
