Q

what are the renal clinical features of ADPKD

A

reduced urine concentration ability
chronic pain (cysts cause renal capsule to stretch)
hypertension, early (31 years)
haematuria (cyst rupture, cystitis, stones)
cyst infection
renal failure

Q

what is the management of ADPKD

A
hypertension control fro young age 
hydratio 
proteinuria reduction 
cyst haemorrhage + infection Tx

Q

what are the features of ARPKD

A

young children
hepatic lesions
(rare)

Q

what is the prognosis of ARPKD

16
Q

what type of inheritance is alports

A

X linked

17
Q

what are the manifestations

A

haematuria (damage to glomeruli)
proteinuria (in later stages, bad prognosis)

sensorineural deafness
oculae defects- anterior lenticonus
leiomyomatosis of oesophagus (swallowing difficulty)/ genitalia

18
Q

how do you diagnose alports

A

suspect it in haematuria +/- hearing loss

renal biopsy = variable thickness GBM

19
Q

what is the management for alports

A

standard agressive tx of BP and proteinuria

dialysis/ transplantation

20
Q

what is anderson fabrys disease

A

Inborn error of Glycosphingolipid metabolism
kidneys, liver, lungs, erythrocytes
uncommon

21
Q

what inheritance is anderson fabrys disease

A

X linked lysosomal storage disease

22
Q

what are the clinical features of fabrys disease

A
renal failure 
angiokeratomas (skin)
cardiomyopathy, valvular disease 
stroke, acroparasthesia 
psychiatric
23
Q

how do you diagnose fabrys disease

A

plasma/ leukocytes a-GAL activity
renal biopsy
skin biopsy

(concentric lamellar inclusions within lysosomes)

24
Q

what is the treatment for anderson fabrys disease

A
enzyme replacement (fabryzyme) 
management of complications
25
Q

what is medullary cystic kidney

A

rare inherited cystic disease (AD)
abnormal renal tubules leading to fibrosis
normal/ small kidneys
cysts are in the corticomedullary junction/ medulla

26
Q

how do you diagnose medullary cystic kidney

A

family history, CT scan

Presents average age 28 yrs

27
Q

what is the treatment for medullary cystic kidney

A

transplantation

28
Q

what is medullary sponge kidney

A
Sporadic Inheritance
Dilatation of collecting ducts
Severe cases- medullary area appears 				like a sponge
Cysts have calculi
renal failure rare
29
Q

how do you diagnose medullary sponge kidney

A

Excretion Urography-to demarcate calculi in cysts

30
Q

what is the most common inherited renal disorder

A

ADPKD

31
Q

what is the first pharmacological option for treating ADPKD

A

tolvaptan
