Polycystic Kidney Disease

Introduction
Background
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is one of the most common inherited disorders in humans. It is the most frequent genetic cause of renal failure in adults, accounting for 6-8% of patients on dialysis in the United States.
ADPKD is a multisystemic and progressive disorder characterized by the formation and enlargement of renal cysts in the kidney (as seen in the image below) and other organs (eg, liver, pancreas, spleen). Clinical features usually begin in the third to fourth decade of life, but cysts may be detectable in childhood and in utero.
Pathophysiology
The main feature of ADPKD is bilateral progressive cystic dilation of the renal tubules, which may lead to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Hepatic cysts, cerebral aneurysms, and cardiac valvular abnormalities also may occur.
Although ADPKD is a systemic disease, it shows a focal expression because less than 1% of nephrons become cystic. In ADPKD, each epithelial cell within a renal tubule harbors a germ-line mutation, yet only a tiny fraction of the tubules develop renal cysts. It is currently held that the cells are protected by the allele inherited from the parent without ADPKD. When this allele is inactivated by a somatic event (mutation or otherwise) within a solitary renal tubule cell, the cell divides repeatedly until a cyst develops, with an aberrant growth program causing endless expansion. The severity of ADPKD is thought to be a direct consequence of the number of times and the frequency with which this cystogenic process occurs within the kidneys over the life of the patient.
The hyperplastic cells cause an out-pocketing of the tubule wall, with the formation of a saccular cyst that fills with fluid derived from glomerular filtrate that enters from the afferent tubule segment. Progressive expansion eventually causes most of the emerging cysts to separate from the parent tubule, leaving an isolated sac that fills with fluid by transepithelial secretion. This isolated cyst expands relentlessly as a result of continued proliferation of the mural epithelium together with the transepithelial secretion of sodium chloride and water into the lumen.
The expanding fluid-filled tumor masses elicit secondary and tertiary changes within the renal interstitium evinced by thickening and lamination of the tubule basement membranes, infiltration of macrophages, and neovascularization. Fibrosis within the interstitium begins early in the course of the disease. Cellular proliferation and fluid secretion may be accelerated by cAMP and growth factors, such as epidermal growth factor (EGF). In summary, cysts function as autonomous structures and are responsible for progressive kidney enlargement in ADPKD.
Approximately 85-90% of patients with ADPKD have an abnormality on the short arm of chromosome 16 (ie, ADPKD type 1 [ADPKD1]). A second defect, termed ADPKD type 2 (ADPKD2), is responsible for 5-15% of ADPKD cases and is found on the long arm of chromosome 4. A third genotype may exist, but no genomic locus is assigned.
PKD1 and PKD2 are expressed in most organs and tissues of the human body. The proteins that are encoded by PKD1 and PKD2, polycystin 1 and polycystin 2, seem to function together to regulate the morphologic configuration of epithelial cells. The polycystins are expressed in development as early as the blastocyst stage and are expressed in a broad array of terminally differentiated tissues. The functions of the polycystins have been scrutinized to the greatest extent in epithelial tissues of the kidneys and liver and in vascular smooth muscle.
Frequency
International
ADPKD is responsible for 6-10% of ESRD cases in North America and Europe. Approximately 1 per 800-1000 people carries the mutation for this condition. Approximately 85-90% of patients with ADPKD have ADPKD1; most of the remaining patients have ADPKD2.
Mortality/Morbidity
The major cause of morbidity is progressive renal dysfunction, resulting in grossly enlarged kidneys and kidney failure. In general, half of patients with ADPKD undergo renal replacement therapy by age 60 years. Cardiovascular pathology and infections account for approximately 90% of deaths of those patients treated by hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis and after renal transplantation. 
Another cause of mortality is subarachnoidal hemorrhage from intracranial aneurysms (ICAs). This complication is rare and severe.
In a retrospective, observational study of 88 patients with ADPKD who died sometime between 1981 and 1999, Rahman et al determined that almost half of the patients died of cardiovascular problems.1 More specifically, the investigators found, using data from the Sheffield Kidney Institute, in the United Kingdom, and clinical notes, that the causes of death included the following:
Cardiovascular problems - 46.6% of patients
Infection - 15.9% of patients, with 42% of these deaths resulting from septicemia
Central nervous system disorders - 11.36% of patients, with 60% of these deaths caused by cerebrovascular events
Uremia - 2.2% of patients
Other, miscellaneous causes - 11.36%
The median age of the nonsurviving patients was 60.5 years.
Sex : ADPKD is slightly more severe in males than in females, but it is not statistically significant.
Age
Symptoms generally increase with age. Children very rarely present with renal failure from ADPKD.
The mean age of onset of ESRD in patients with ADPKD1 is 53 years; in patients with ADPKD2, it is 74 years.
Clinical
History
Renal manifestations
A decrease in urine-concentrating ability is an early manifestation of the disease.
Microalbuminuria occurs in 35% of patients with ADPKD. However, nephrotic-range proteinuria is uncommon.
Patients may develop renal failure, usually in the fourth to sixth decade of life. The development of renal insufficiency is highly variable in ADPKD. Renal failure has been reported in children, and, conversely, individuals with the condition may live a normal life expectancy without knowing that they have the disease. An early study estimated that approximately 70% of patients with ADPKD would develop renal insufficiency if they survived to age 65 years. There is an inverse association between the size of polycystic kidneys and the level of glomerular filtration.
Hypertension2,3
Hypertension is one of the most common early manifestations of ADPKD. Even when renal function is normal, hypertension has been found in 50-75% of patients. In fact, the clinical course of hypertension in ADPKD is very unlike that of hypertension in chronic glomerulonephritis or tubulointerstitial nephropathies. In ADPKD, the hypertension is usually more severe early in the course of the disease and becomes less problematic with the progression of the renal insufficiency. Studies of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system have not convincingly demonstrated that they play an important role in its pathogenesis. A rise in diastolic blood pressure is the rule in ADPKD.
Doulton and colleagues have demonstrated that activation of the classic circulating renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is no greater in patients with hypertensive ADPKD than in individuals with essential hypertension.4 In spite of this evidence, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers are still the most indicated drugs to treat hypertension in patients with ADPKD.
Pain
Pain, located in the abdomen, the flank, or the back, is the most common initial complaint, and it is almost universally present in patients with ADPKD. The pain can be caused by enlargement of one or more cysts, bleeding, either confined inside the cyst or leading to gross hematuria with passage of clots, or a perinephric hematoma; urinary tract infection (eg, acute pyelonephritis, infected cysts, perinephric abscess); nephrolithiasis and renal colic; and, rarely, a coincidental hypernephroma.
In addition, patients with ADPKD may have abdominal pain related to definitively or presumably associated conditions. Dull aching and an uncomfortable sensation of heaviness may result from a large polycystic liver. Although rare, hepatic cysts may become infected, especially after renal transplantation. Abdominal pain can also result from diverticulitis, which has been reported to occur with increased frequency in patients with ADPKD maintained on dialysis.
Patients with ADPKD may be at a higher risk of developing thoracic aortic aneurysms. Abdominal aortic aneurysms are not increased among these patients.
These patients may also develop pain for reasons completely unrelated to their underlying disease; thus, abdominal pain in patients with ADPKD may be a diagnostic challenge.
Hematuria
Hematuria frequently is the presenting manifestation and usually is self-limited (lasting less than or equal to 1 wk).
Polycystic kidneys are unusually susceptible to traumatic injury, with hemorrhage occurring in approximately 60% of individuals. Mild trauma can lead to intrarenal hemorrhage or bleeding into the retroperitoneal space accompanied by intense pain that often requires narcotics for relief. The cysts are associated with excessive angiogenesis evinced by fragile vessels stretched across their distended walls. When traumatized, these vessels may leak blood into the cyst, causing it to expand rapidly, resulting in excruciating pain. If bleeding continues, then the cyst may rupture into the collecting system, causing gross hematuria. Alternatively, it may rupture into the subcapsular compartment and eventually dissect through the renal capsule to fill the retroperitoneal space.
Stroke - A family history of stroke (or cerebrovascular accident), the presence of symptoms that may be related to an aneurysm, or a job or hobby in which a loss of consciousness may be lethal indicates the need for aneurysm screening with magnetic resonance angiography.
Physical
Palpable, bilateral flank masses occur in patients with advanced ADPKD.
Nodular hepatomegaly occurs in those with severe polycystic liver disease.
Symptoms related to renal failure (eg, pallor, uremic fetor, dry skin, edema) are rare upon presentation.
Causes
ADPKD is a hereditary disorder. The pattern of inheritance is autosomal dominant. Because the disorder occurs equally in both sexes, each offspring has a 50% chance of inheriting the affected chromosome and, hence, the disease.
ADPKD is a genetically heterogeneous condition that involves at least 2 genes.
PKD1 is located on 16p13.3 and accounts for most ADPKD cases.
PKD2 is located on 4q21-q22 and accounts for 15% of ADPKD cases.
PKD1 codes for a 4304–amino acid protein (polycystin 1) with as yet undefined function but interacts with polycystin 2 and is involved in cell cycle regulation and intracellular calcium transport. Polycystin 1 localizes in the primary cilia of renal epithelial cells, which function as mechanosensors and chemosensors.
PKD2 codes for a 968–amino acid protein (polycystin 2) that is structurally similar to polycystin 1 and colocalizes to the primary cilia of renal epithelial cells. It is a member of the family of voltage-activated calcium channels.
Polycystin 1 and polycystin 2 are highly conserved ubiquitous transmembrane proteins that, in the kidney, are located in the epithelial cells of the renal tubules, in particular in the primary cilia at the luminal side of the tubules, as well as in other areas of the renal cell epithelium.
Polycystin 1 is a large protein with a long extracellular N-terminal region, 11 transmembrane domains, and a short intracellular C-terminal tail. Polycystin 2 is structurally related to the transient receptor potential (TRP) channel family, and it is known to function as a nonselective cation channel permeable to Ca2+.
Polycystin 1 and polycystin 2 form heteromeric complexes and colocalize in the primary cilium of renal epithelial cells. The primary cilium is a long, nonmotile tubular structure located in the apical surface of the epithelial cells in the renal tubules. Its function was unknown for a long time. However, studies now indicate that the primary cilium may be a mechanoreceptor that senses changes in apical fluid flow and that transduces them into an intracellular Ca2+ signaling response.
This model involves the participation of polycystin 1 as a mechanical sensor of ciliary bending induced by luminal fluid flow. Bending of the cilium would cause a conformational change in polycystin 1 that would, in turn, activate the polycystin 2-associated Ca2+ channel, increasing the intracellular Ca2+ concentration and triggering intracellular signaling pathways leading to normal kidney development.
A good genotype-phenotype correlation has not been well established for ADPKD1 and ADPKD2.
ADPKD1 is more severe than ADPKD2. The mean age of ESRD for patients with ADPKD1 is 53 years. The mean age of ESRD for patients with ADPKD2 is 74 years.
Differential Diagnoses Cystic Diseases of the Kidney, von Hippel-Lindau Disease
Other Problems to Be Considered
Acquired renal cystic disease, Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease, Medullary cystic disease, Orofaciodigital type II syndrome, Renal dysplasia, Simple renal cysts, Tuberous sclerosis
Workup
Laboratory Studies
Genetic testing is available by means of DNA linkage analysis and has an accuracy rate of greater than 95% for ADPKD1 and ADPKD2.
To perform this analysis, obtain blood from at least 2 affected individuals (if they are parent and child, 1 more affected family member is needed) and 2 unaffected individuals from one family.
The major indication for genetic screening is in young adults with negative ultrasonographic findings who are being considered as potential kidney donors.
Mutation screening is commercially available (Athena Diagnostics, Inc, Worchester, Mass).
Other studies to perform include a serum chemistry profile, including calcium and phosphorus; a complete blood cell count; urinalysis; urine culture; uric acid determination; and intact parathyroid hormone value.
An increased hematocrit may result from increased erythropoietin secretion from cysts.
Imaging Studies
Ultrasonography5
This is the most widely used imaging technique to help diagnose ADPKD, and it can detect cysts from 1-1.5 cm.
This study avoids the use of radiation or contrast material, is widely available, and is inexpensive.
Ultrasonographic imaging is likely to remain a widely applied modality for diagnosing ADPKD.
Sensitivity for ADPKD1 is 99% for at-risk patients older than 20 years, but ultrasonography often yields false-negative results in younger patients.
Sensitivity for ADPKD2 is lower and is still not well defined.
Ultrasonography is also useful for exploring abdominal extrarenal features of ADPKD (eg, liver cysts, pancreatic cysts).
The presence of hepatic or pancreatic cysts supports the diagnosis of ADPKD.
Ultrasonographic diagnostic criteria for ADPKD1 were established by Ravine et al in 1994 and are as follows:6
At least 2 cysts in 1 kidney or 1 cyst in each kidney in an at-risk patient younger than 30 years
At least 2 cysts in each kidney in an at-risk patient aged 30-59 years
At least 4 cysts in each kidney for an at-risk patient aged 60 years or older
Computed tomography (CT) scan
This study is more sensitive than ultrasonography and can detect cysts as small as 0.5 cm.
It involves radiation and is more expensive; therefore, it is not used routinely for diagnosis or for follow-up studies of ADPKD.
This study may be useful in doubtful cases in children or in complicated cases (eg, kidney stone, suspected tumor).
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
This study is also more sensitive than either ultrasonography or CT scanning. It may be more helpful in distinguishing renal cell carcinoma from simple cysts.
MRI is the best imaging tool to monitor kidney size after treatment to assess progress. However, it is not routinely used because it is expensive and tedious. It should not be used unless the patient is in a protocol or similar situation.
MRI is the criterion standard to help determine renal volume for clinical trials when testing drugs for ADPKD.
Intravenous urography
This was once used widely to diagnose ADPKD.
It involves contrast and only helps in the diagnosis of advanced-stage ADPKD because of the distortion of calyces.
It is no longer indicated to establish a diagnosis of the disease.
Magnetic resonance angiography
This is the preferred imaging technique for diagnosing ICAs.
This study is recommended when a member of the family is diagnosed with an ICA, if the patient refers to symptoms related to an ICA, when the patient has a high-risk job, or when the patient has had a previous ICA.
Procedures
Barium enema - To help diagnose colonic diverticula
Doppler studies and 2-dimensional echocardiography - To exclude mitral prolapse, which is often associated with ADPKD
Staging
Staging of renal failure is as follows:
Stage 1 - GFR >90 mL/min
Stage 2 - GFR 60-90 mL/min
Stage 3 - GFR 30-60 mL/min
Stage 4 - GFR 15-30 mL/min
Stage 5 - GFR <15 mL/min
Treatment
Medical Care
Ensure that a patient with ADPKD who is nonhypertensive and has normal renal function undergoes blood testing and ultrasonographic scanning once a year.
Schedule more frequent follow-up studies for patients with high blood pressure. Hypertension is common, occurring in as many as 50-70% of patients before the onset of renal failure.
Patients with renal failure require more frequent monitoring, based on the severity of their condition.
Medical therapy is necessary to accomplish the following:
Control blood pressure. In patients with renal disease, the goal is a blood pressure of less than 130/88 mm Hg. If more than 1 g/d of urinary protein is present, the target blood pressure is less than 125/75 mm Hg. Achieving good blood pressure control helps slow the progression of renal disease.
The best drugs for this condition are ACE inhibitors (ie, captopril, enalapril, lisinopril) or angiotensin II receptor antagonist blockers (ie, telmisartan, losartan, irbesartan, candesartan). Calcium channel blockers are not recommended.
Control abnormalities related to renal failure (ie, hyperkalemia, hyperphosphatemia, hypocalcemia, hyperparathyroidism, acidosis).
Treat urinary tract infections, which occur in 30-50% of patients and most frequently in women. Gram-negative bacteria are the most common pathogens.
Reduce abdominal pain produced by enlarged kidneys.
Avoid nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
With heart murmurs, institute routine American Heart Association antibiotic prophylaxis.
Treatment involves surgical cyst decompression, which is effective for pain relief in 60-80% of patients. See Surgical Care.
Distinguishing between infections of the bladder, renal parenchyma, and cysts is important because the treatment for each condition is different. Treating infected cysts requires antibiotics that penetrate into the cyst. Useful agents are ciprofloxacin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, clindamycin, and chloramphenicol.
Patients with ADPKD and ESRD may undergo hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, or renal transplantation.
Surgical Care
Infected renal or hepatic cysts
If infected cysts do not respond to conventional antibiotic therapy, surgical drainage may be necessary.
This procedure is usually performed with ultrasonographically guided puncture.
Large cysts causing abdominal pain
Cysts may become large enough to cause abdominal discomfort or pain. Typically, acute pain is from cyst hemorrhage or an obstruction by a clot, stone, or infection.7
When one or more cysts can be identified as causing the pain, the symptoms can often be abated by open- or fiber optic–guided surgery to excise the outer walls and to drain them.
In approximately one half of patients, however, candidate cysts cannot be identified as directly causing the pain. In these cases, indiscriminate excision of dozens of cyst walls that abut the capsule have produced complete symptomatic relief for months or years. Volumetric reduction of these kidneys usually exceeds 50% but still leaves kidneys larger than normal size. Not every cyst can be removed, and, with time, the residual cysts enlarge and symptoms may reappear.
Approximately one quarter of patients with the most severe pain do not gain relief from surgery or pharmacologic therapy with narcotics. These individuals usually have inaccessible cysts in the medullary portions of the kidneys. Nephrectomy is used as a last resort to control the pain in these patients.
Massive polycystic liver diseases (See the image below.)
When the liver becomes so large that it prevents the patient from obtaining normal nutrition or causes severe abdominal discomfort, a surgical procedure is necessary.
Surgical intervention may range from unroofing several cysts to a partial hepatectomy.
Partial hepatectomy is difficult because of the characteristics of the polycystic liver. Only expert surgeons should proceed with this surgical procedure.
When the polycystic liver causes portal hypertension or is very large with nonresectable areas, liver transplantation may be necessary.
Special attention should be paid when bilateral nephrectomy has to be carried out in patients with severe liver involvement. Several cases of refractory ascites after bilateral nephrectomy have been reported in these patients.
Consultations
Nephrologist upon evidence of renal insufficiency, hypertension, microalbuminuria, or concentrating defect
Invasive radiologist for cyst sclerosis or drainage
General surgeon for nephrectomy, cyst decompression, unroofing, or surgical hepatic procedures
Neurosurgeon for ICAs
Cardiologist for valvular abnormalities
Diet = Although a low-salt diet is recommended when hypertension or renal failure is present, no other special diet reportedly is of benefit.
Activity
Patients should avoid contact sports in which direct trauma to the back or abdomen is likely. This is especially important with larger, palpable kidneys in order to minimize the risk of rupture.
Medication
No specific medication is available for ADPKD; however, clinical trials with vasopressin 2 receptor antagonists (Tolvaptan), somatostatin, and rapamycin are ongoing. The drugs of choice for hypertension are ACE inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor antagonist blockers. Do not treat abdominal pain with NSAIDs because of its potential nephrotoxic effect.
Cyst infections require gyrase inhibitors (eg, ciprofloxacin, chloramphenicol, clindamycin). Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole is also an effective antibiotic for reaching the inner cavity of the cyst. Renal failure requires drugs to maintain electrolyte levels (eg, calcium carbonate, calcium acetate, sevelamer, lanthanum carbonate, calcitriol [possibly], diuretics, blood pressure medications). Approximately 62% of patients with renal insufficiency require at least 2 antihypertensive agents for optimal blood pressure control.

C - Fetal risk revealed in studies in animals but not established or not studied in humans; may use if benefits outweigh risk to fetus
Precautions
Caution in patients with dysphagia, severe GI motility disorders, or swallowing disorders; can cause hypophosphatemia in patients with low or normal serum phosphate levels; when changes in absorption of oral medications may have clinical consequences (eg, antiseizure or antiarrhythmic drugs), medications should be taken 1 h before or 3 h after a dose of sevelamer
Angiotensin II receptor antagonists
These agents interfere with the binding of formed angiotensin II to its endogenous receptor.
Valsartan (Diovan)
Prodrug that produces direct antagonism of angiotensin II receptors. Displaces angiotensin II from AT1 receptor and may lower blood pressure by antagonizing AT1-induced vasoconstriction, aldosterone release, catecholamine release, arginine vasopressin release, water intake, and hypertrophic responses. May induce more complete inhibition of renin-angiotensin system than ACE inhibitors, does not affect response to bradykinin, and is less likely to be associated with cough and angioedema. For use in patients unable to tolerate ACE inhibitors.
Dosing
Adult
80 mg/d PO; may increase to 160 mg/d if needed
Pediatric
<6 years: Not established
>6 years: 1.3 mg/kg PO qd initially, not to exceed 40 mg/d; may adjust dose according to blood pressure response up to 2.7 mg/kg/d (not to exceed 160 mg/d)

Interactions
May increase digoxin, lithium, and allopurinol levels; probenecid may increase valsartan levels; coadministration with diuretics increases hypotensive effects; NSAIDs may reduce hypotensive effects of valsartan; may increase risk of hyperkalemia if taken concurrently with potassium supplements or other potassium-sparing diuretics
Contraindications
Documented hypersensitivity; severe hepatic insufficiency; biliary cirrhosis or obstruction; primary hyperaldosteronism; bilateral renal artery stenosis
Precautions
Pregnancy
C - Fetal risk revealed in studies in animals but not established or not studied in humans; may use if benefits outweigh risk to fetus
D - Fetal risk shown in humans; use only if benefits outweigh risk to fetus
Precautions
Pregnancy category D in second and third trimesters; caution in hyperkalemia, suspected bilateral renal artery stenosis, or suspected solitary kidney with unilateral renal artery stenosis

Losartan (Cozaar)
Angiotensin II receptor antagonist that blocks the vasoconstrictor and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II. May induce a more complete inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system than ACE inhibitors, does not affect the response to bradykinin, and is less likely to be associated with cough and angioedema. For patients unable to tolerate ACE inhibitors.
Dosing
Adult
25-100 mg PO qd or divided bid
Pediatric
<6 years: Not established
6-16 years: 0.7 mg/kg PO qd; not to exceed 50 mg/d if <50 kg or 100 mg/d if >50 kg
CrCl <30 mL/min: Not established
Interactions
May increase digoxin, lithium, and allopurinol levels; probenecid may increase losartan levels; coadministration with diuretics increases hypotensive effects; NSAIDs may reduce hypotensive effects of losartan; may increase risk of hyperkalemia if taken concurrently with potassium supplements or other potassium-sparing diuretics
Contraindications
Documented hypersensitivity
Precautions
Pregnancy
C - Fetal risk revealed in studies in animals but not established or not studied in humans; may use if benefits outweigh risk to fetus
D - Fetal risk shown in humans; use only if benefits outweigh risk to fetus
Precautions
Pregnancy category D in second and third trimesters; caution in patients with unilateral or bilateral renal artery stenosis
Candesartan (Atacand)
Blocks vasoconstriction and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II. May induce more complete inhibition of renin-angiotensin system than ACE inhibitors, does not affect response to bradykinin, and is less likely to be associated with cough and angioedema. Use in patients unable to tolerate ACE inhibitors.
Angiotensin II receptor antagonist blockers reduce blood pressure and proteinuria, protecting renal function and delaying onset of ESRD.
Dosing
Adult
8-16 mg/d PO initially; not to exceed 32 mg/d
Pediatric
Not established
Interactions
May increase digoxin, lithium, and allopurinol levels; probenecid may increase candesartan levels; coadministration with diuretics increases hypotensive effects; NSAIDs may reduce hypotensive effects of candesartan; may increase risk of hyperkalemia if taken concurrently with potassium supplements or other potassium-sparing diuretics
Contraindications
Documented hypersensitivity
Precautions
Pregnancy
C - Fetal risk revealed in studies in animals but not established or not studied in humans; may use if benefits outweigh risk to fetus
D - Fetal risk shown in humans; use only if benefits outweigh risk to fetus
Precautions
Pregnancy category D in second and third trimesters; caution in renal impairment (serum creatinine >3.5), valvular stenosis, or severe congestive heart failure; watch for serum potassium

Olmesartan (Benicar)
Blocks vasoconstrictor effects of angiotensin II by selectively blocking binding of angiotensin II to AT-1 receptor in vascular smooth muscle. Action is independent of pathways for angiotensin II synthesis.
Dosing
Adult
20 mg PO qd initially; may increase to 40 mg/d after 2 wk if further BP reduction required; lower dose in volume- or salt-depleted patients
Pediatric
Not established
Follow-up
Further Inpatient Care
Admit patients with cyst infections.
Admit patients for surgical procedures.
Further Outpatient Care
Carefully monitor blood pressure and renal function.
Perform an ultrasonogram of the kidneys every 1-2 years.
Inpatient & Outpatient Medications
Institute antihypertensive therapy with ACE inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor antagonist blockers. In patients with advanced renal disease, ACE inhibitors and/or angiotensin II receptor antagonist blockers can exacerbate renal failure or increase serum potassium; therefore, regularly monitor use with serum chemistry values.
If renal failure is present, drugs directed towards normalization of electrolyte levels are necessary.
Avoid NSAIDs because they can worsen renal function and potentiate hyperkalemia.
Hematuria is frequent among patients with ADPKD, usually resulting from cyst rupture or stone passage. Instruct the patient to drink large amounts of water, to rest, and to take a pain killer if necessary. Hospitalization is necessary if the patient is still bleeding after several days or if the amount of blood is substantial.

Complications
ESRD - This is the most frequent complication of ADPKD; 50% of patients require renal replacement therapy by age 60 years.
Hypertension
The cause of an early rise in blood pressure remains controversial.
The rise in blood pressure is likely secondary to renal damage by cysts. A direct relationship exists between the volume of the kidneys and the severity of the hypertension.
The prevalence of hypertension increases with age, with a rate of approximately 85% when patients enter ESRD.
Extrarenal cysts
The presence of extrarenal cysts in the liver, pancreas, and spleen is a well-known feature of polycystic liver disease, which is a frequent condition in persons with ADPKD.
Polycystic liver disease belongs to a family of liver diseases characterized by an overgrowth of biliary epithelium and supportive connective tissue. It is characterized by multiple cysts that may be microscopic or can occupy most of the abdominal cavity. Liver size may range from normal to enlarged.
Women are more likely to have more and larger hepatic cysts than men; this correlates with estrogen exposure and increases with gravidity in women. Liver size in massive polycystic liver disease tends to stabilize after menopause.
Hepatic cysts occur in almost 50% of affected patients, are more common in women, and are exceptional in children with ADPKD.
The frequency of liver cysts increases with age; cysts occur in approximately 20% of patients during the third decade of life and in 75% during the seventh decade of life.
The presence of liver cysts does not involve hepatic failure.
Pain and infection are the only symptoms that occur from the presence of hepatic cysts, and most frequently, cysts are asymptomatic.
Massive polycystic liver disease may manifest predominantly in women, and portal hypertension (ie, ascites, esophageal varices) may occur in these patients.
The enlarged liver may cause malnutrition. These patients may need a partial resection of the liver or hepatic transplantation.
Bilateral nephrectomy in patients with massively enlarged livers may cause portal hypertension and severe ascites.
Pancreatic cysts occur at a rate of 9% in patients older than 20 years.
Cerebral aneurysms
Cerebral aneurysms are among the most serious complications of ADPKD; they occur in 4-10% of patients with ADPKD. (In the aforementioned study by Rahman et al, the mortality rate from cerebrovascular events was approximately 7%;1 see Morbidity/Mortality.)
Rupture usually occurs in patients younger than 50 years who have uncontrolled hypertension; however, a stroke from hypertension and intracerebral hemorrhage is more common.
There is no relationship between the risk of rupture and the severity of renal disease.
Colonic diverticula - Patients with ADPKD develop colonic diverticula, probably from altered connective tissue, at an estimated rate of 80%. However, this rate has not been demonstrated to be higher than the rate among other patients on dialysis.
Mitral valve prolapse - Patients with ADPKD occasionally develop mitral valve prolapse at a rate that is probably no higher than that of the normal population.
Nephrolithiasis - This occurs in 20-30% of patients with ADPKD. Consider this condition in patients with acute pain and hematuria. Unlike the most common form of kidney stones, calcium oxalate, uric acid stones form in as many as 50% of patients with ADPKD. Establishing a diagnosis by ultrasonogram is often difficult; therefore, an intravenous pyelogram or a CT scan is preferred because of the presence of large cysts.
Metabolic abnormalities (eg, decreased urinary citrate) - These contribute to uric acid stone formation.
Prognosis
Half of all patients with ADPKD require renal replacement therapy by age 60 years. Risk factors for progression include PKD1 genotype, large kidneys, several episodes of gross hematuria, severe and frequent kidney infections, hypertension, multiple pregnancies, black racial background, and male sex. The presence of more than one risk factor increases the risk of progression to ESRD.
The 2 forms of ADPKD are ADPKD1 and ADPKD2. Although they share similar clinical features, renal prognosis is strikingly different. Studies confirm that ADPKD2 is a milder disease, based on the age of onset of ESRD. The median age of renal survival for those with ADPKD2 is 68 years, which is significantly older than for those with ADPKD1 where the median age of renal survival is 53 years. Although ADPKD2 is milder than ADPKD1, it has an overall impact on survival and shortens life expectancy.
Patient Education
Ensure that patients are aware that this disease is hereditary and that their children have a 50% chance of acquiring the disease. Although several treatments are being tested, this disease currently has no cure. Only interventions that slow the progression of renal disease (eg, adequate blood pressure control) are of benefit. Hopefully, effective specific therapy will be available in a few years.
Prenatal diagnosis is available through DNA linkage studies if enough family members cooperate or through a mutation search. Suggest that family members who are not screened for ADPKD have annual blood pressure checks and urine screenings for hematuria.
