Synopses Polycystic Kidney Disease: An Unrecognized Emerging Infectious Disease? Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is one of the most common genetic diseases in humans. We contend that it may be an emerging infectious disease and/or microbial toxicosis in a vulnerable human subpopulation. Use of a differential activation protocol for the Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) assay showed bacterial endotoxin and fungal (1 3)-ß-D-glucans in cyst fluids from human kidneys with PKD. Fatty acid analysis of cyst fluid confirmed the presence of 3-hydroxy fatty acids characteristic of endotoxin. Tissue and cyst fluid from three PKD patients were examined for fungal components. Serologic tests showed Fusarium Aspergillus, and Candida antigens. IgE, but not IgG, reactive with Fusarium and Candida were also detected in cyst fluid. Fungal DNA was detected in kidney tissue and cyst fluid from these three PKD patients, but not in healthy human kidney tissue. We examine the intertwined nature of the actions of endotoxin and fungal components, sphingolipid biology in PKD, the structure of PKD gene products, infections, and integrity of gut function to establish a mechanistic hypothesis for microbial provocation of human cystic disease. Proof of this hypothesis will require identification of the microbes and microbial components involved and multifaceted studies of PKD cell biology. Examining the hypothesis that polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is an emerging infectious disease and/or microbial toxicosis in a vulnerable population of humans must begin with a review of the conceptual tools that relate disease etiology and progression to the identification of microbes, their cellular components, and shed toxins in affected persons (

Kidney Disease And Lupus John H. Klippel, M.D. Clinical Director, National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, National Institutes of Health Bethesda, MD Jennifer M. Glunz Dubuque, IA Lupus nephritis or lupus glomerulonephritis is the medical term for the kidney disease which occurs in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). It is estimated that about a third of patients with lupus will develop nephritis which requires medical evaluation and treatment. Lupus nephritis is an important and potentially serious symptom of lupus. CLINICAL COURSE OF LUPUS NEPHRITIS There are very few signs or symptoms of lupus nephritis. It does not produce pain in the abdomen or back, nor does it cause pain or burning during urination. The loss of protein in the urine from lupus nephritis may lead to fluid retention with weight gain and swelling (edema). This may result in puffiness in the legs, ankles and/or fingers. This puffiness is often the first symptom of lupus nephritis noted by the patient. The clinical course of lupus nephritis is highly variable. Often findings of lupus nephritis are evident only in urine studies. In many patients, the urine abnormalities are very mild and may be present on one examination and absent the next. This form of lupus nephritis is rather common and, generally does not require any special medical evaluation or treatment. However, in some patients, the abnormal findings on urine studies persist or may even worsen over time. Patients with this type of lupus nephritis are at risk for loss of kidney function. They may require additional studies to evaluate the extent of their lupus nephritis and to determine the best treatment approach to control their disease.

Main Search Index Definition Description Diagnosis ... Resources Polycystic kidney disease Definition Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is an incurable disorder characterized by the formation of several or many fluid-filled cysts that: Replace healthy kidney tissue Enlarge the kidneys and impair their function Often cause kidney failure. PKD is almost always inherited. In about 10 of every 100 cases, the disease is caused by a defective gene that is not inherited. Description The most common of all life-threatening, genetic diseases, PKD affects at least two of every 10,000 people. A child who inherits the PKD gene from either parent has a 50% chance of developing the disease. A healthy kidney is about the same size as a human fist. PKD cysts, which can be as small as the head of a pin or as large as a grapefruit, can expand the kidneys until each one is bigger than a football and weighs as much as 38 pounds. Types of PKD Babies born with infantile PKD are often born dead. Few of these children survive for more than two years, and many of them die in infancy. PKD is much more common in adults than in children. Symptoms usually start to appear between the ages of 30-50, and, though organ deterioration progresses more slowly than it does in children, untreated disease eventually causes kidney failure.
