Q

ADPKD - pathology

A

Massive bilateral renal enlargement
Kidneys are >1kg
Subsequent reduction in renal function
Multiple cysts of varying size cause a distortion of kidney shape
Cysts can arise at any part of the nephron

Q

In ADPKD, cysts are confined to the kidneys. True or False?

A

False

  • common to get cysts in other organs (e.g. liver)
  • there is no functional effect at these other organ sites

Q

ADPKD - investigations

A

US

  • presence of multiple bilateral cysts
  • renal enlargement

X-ray
- cyst calcification in the renal area

CT/MRI
- only if unclear findings on US

Q

ADPKD - management

A 
Hypertension control 
Hydration
Proteinuria reduction
- ACE inhibitors / ARBs
Tolvaptan
- CA which reduces cyst volume and progression
- causes increased urine production

Q

ADPKD in children

A

Rare

A single cyst in the kidney in high risk pts is enough for diagnosis

Q

ARPKD - genetics

A

PKDH1 on chromosome 6

18
Q

ARPKD - pathology

A

Kidneys become enlarged but their shape is maintained
No gross distortion of kidney
Cysts appear from the collecting duct system
Dilation of collecting ducts in the distal part of the nephron

19
Q

ARPKD - associated diseases

A

Congenital hepatic fibrosis

20
Q

ARPKD - clinical features

A

Varies from person-person
Kidneys are palpable
Hypertension
Recurrent UTI

21
Q

ARPKD - investigations

A

GFR
- slow decline

CT
- renal enlargement is bilateral and symmetrical

22
Q

Where do cysts appear from in ARPKD ?

A

Collecting duct system

23
Q

ARPKD - prognosis

A

If children survive past the first year of life then most will survive beyond 15 years

24
Q

Alports syndrome - definition

A

disorder of the glomerular basement membrane

Disorder of type IV collagen matrix deposition

Q

Alport syndrome - genetics

A

X linked inheritance

A

No specific treatment
Control BP
Control proteinuria
RRT

29
Q

Fabrys disease - definition

A

Lysosomal storage disease

Deficiency of alpha-galactosidase A which causes an accumulation of waste products in the body

30
Q

Fabrys disease - genetics

A

X linked

rare

31
