Polycystic kidney disease inheritance
Autosomal dominant (polycystin mutation)

Recessive (fibrocystin mutation)
Causes of cysts in the kidney
Inherited polycystic kidney disease
Simple cysts - benign
Aquired cysts associate with renal fail
Tuberous sclerosis - angiomyolipomas
Von Hipple Lindau
DDx of multiple cysts in both kidneys
AD/AR polycystic kidney disease
Multiple simple cysts
Von Hippel Lindau syndrome
Tuberous sclerosis
AD Polycystic kidney disease epidemiology
relatively common genetic disease
1/400-1/1000 birth prevalence
500K in US
6 million in world

7-10% of dialysis patients

Prevalence is worldwide
Diagnosing AD polycystic kidney disease
With known family history:
2 cysts by age 30
2 cysts in each kidney from 30-59
4 cysts each kidney >60

Without FHx
Bilateral renal enlargement with cysts
No other explanation
PKD-1
Gene mutation in 85% of AD polycystic kidney disease
Chromosome 16
Makes polycystin-1

Sensor of extra cell environs
Cell to cell or cell to matrix interaction protein
Mechanism of cyst formation in AD PKD
Cysts arise as expansions of renal tubule
Can arise in any segment
Disconnect from tubular lumen
Mechanism of cyst formation in AR PKD
Cysts arise as expansions of renal tubule
Arise from collecting duct
Remain connected to lumen
PKD-2
Less frequent mutated gene in AD polycystic kidney disease
Chromosome 4
Polycystin-2
thought to be a calcium channel
may be involved with getting polycystin-1 to membrane, or its fnc
Polycystic kidney disease presentation
Abdominal pain
Hypertension
UTIs
Hematuria - cysts can rupture
Fatigue
Increased rates of stones
Increase in RCC -- different behavior
AD polycystic kidney disease natural history
Highly penetrant gene
Loss of renal fnc seen in 30s, 40s
50% have ESRD by age 60

Patient factors affect course
Phenotypic variability
Same genes can result in different phenotypes
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease pleiotropic effects
Hepatic cysts
GI diverticuli
Cerebrovascular aneurysms
Valvular abnormalities
Monitoring for disease progression in polycystic kidney disease
Hypertension
Creatinine
Kidney volume - imaging
MRAngiography for patients w/ Fhx/o stroke or aneurysm
AR polycystic kidney disease epi
