Q

what is the most common extra-renal manifestation of ADPKD

A

Hepatic cysts

present 10 years after renal cysts

liver function tends to be preserved but results in:

  • SOB
  • Pain
  • Ankle swelling

Q

how do you diagnose ADPKD

A

Radiology

  • US - shows multiple bilateral cysts
  • Renal enlargement
  • CT/MRI when unclear on USS

Genetic

  • linkage analysis
  • mutation analysis

Q

prognosis of ARPKD

A

Infants who survive the neonatal period have a mortality rate of 9%-24% the the first year of life

children who survive the first year have an 80% probably of survival beyond 15 years

17
Q

what is Alpert’s syndrome

A

an x-linked inhibitive disorder of type IV collagen matrix

mutation in the COL4A5 gene

18
Q

how does Alpert’s present

A

Haematuria
Proteinuria seen later but confers bad prognosis
Extra renal
-sensorineural deafness
-ocular defects - anterior lenticonus
-leiomyomatosis of oesophagus/genitalia (rare)

19
Q

how do you diagnose alports

A

suspect if haematuia + hearing loss

renal biopsy
-variable thickness GBM is a characteristic feature

20
Q

Treatment for Alports

A

Standard aggressive treatment of BP and proteinuria

dialysis/transplantation

21
Q

what is Anderson Fabrys disease

A

Inborn error of glycosphingolipid metabolism
(deficiency of a-galactosidaseA)

x linked disease of lysosomal storage

v rare

22
Q

Clinical features of Anderson fabry’s disease

A
Renal failure 
Cutaneous -angiokeratomas 
Cardiac -cardiomyopathy, valvular disease 
neurological - stroke, acroparesthesia 
psychiatric
23
Q

how do you diagnose Anderson Fabrys disease

A

Plasma/leukocye a-GAL activity
renal biopsy
skin biopsy

24
Q

treatment for Anderson Fabrys disease

A

enzyme replacement (fabryzyme)

management of complications

25
Q

what is Medullary Cystic Kidney

A

Rare inherited cystic disease (autosomal dominant inheritance)

abnormal renal tubules leading to fibrosis

26
Q

characteristics of Medullary cystic disease

A

Affected kidneys are normal/small

cysts in the corticomedullary junction or medulla

cortex and medulla both strange

irregularly distributed cysts of variable size

presents at average age of 28

27
Q

how do you diagnose medullary cystic kidney

A

Diagnosis - family history, CT scan

28
Q

treatment for medullary cystic kidney

A

renal transplantation

29
Q

what is a medullary sponge kidney

A

sporadic inherited disease that causes dilation of collecting ducts

in severe cases the medulla appear like a sponge

the cysts have calculi in them

30
Q

how do you diagnose medullary sponge kidney

A

by excretion urography 0 to demarcate calculi
