polycystic kidney disease Flashcards
what
genetic condition where kidneys develop multiple fluid-filled cysts
kidney function significantly impaired
diagnosis
USS
genetic testing
Autosomal Dominant Type: geens
PKD-1 chr 16
PKD-2 chr 4
Autosomal Dominant Type: extra-renal manifestations
cerebral aneurysms hepetic, splenic, pancreatic, ovarian, prostatic cysts cardiac valve disease: mitral regurg aortic root dilatation colonic diverticula
Autosomal Dominant Type: complications
chronic loin pain hypertension gross haematuria - cyst rupture renal stones end-stage renal failure at 50yrs
Autosomal Recessive Type: gene
gene on chromosome 6
Autosomal Recessive Type
rarer and more severe
Autosomal Recessive Type: how does it usually present
in pregnancy with oligohydramnios as featus foes not produce enough urine
Autosomal Recessive Type: features
oligohydramnios leags to underdeveloped lungs - resp failure shortly after birth
dialysis within first few days life
dysmorphic - underdeveloped ear cartilage, low set ears, flat nose bridge
end-stage renal failure before adulthood
Mx
tolvaptan (autosomal dominant)
Mx complications
regular USS, renal function bloods, BP
tolvaptan
vasopressin receptor antagonis
can slow development of cysts and progression of renal failure in autosomal dominant
what to avoid in PKD
contact sports - risk cyst rupture
anti-inflammatories and anticoagulants
