age group affected

A

PKHD1
Chr 6

19
Q

What tissue becomes cystic in ADPKD?

A

Collecting ducts

20
Q

What does the surface of the kidney look like in ADPKD? ARPKD?

A

AD: cystic

AR: smooth

21
Q

What extrarenal organ is almost always affected in ARPKD?

A

The liver - hepatic cysts are almost always present.

26
Q

Nephronophthisis

Where does the cyst occur?

A

Corticomedullary junction

27

What changes are seen in the cortex?

Nephronophthisis

A

Tubular atrophy
Thickening of BM of proximal and distal tubules
Interstitial fibrosis

28
Q

Name extrarenal tissues that may be affected by Nephronophthisis

A

Extraocular muscles - motor abnormalities

What is the most common cause of genetic renal disease in children and young adults?

A
