Genotype/phenotype correlations Please click thumbnails for larger image. Figure 1-1. Structure of the PKD1 (top) and PKD2 (bottom) genes and the transcripts they encode. Mutation to either of these genes results in ADPKD. Figure 1-2. Many different types of mutation: splicing (light blue) frameshifting (dark blue) or in-frame (pink) insertions or deletions, missense (yellow) or nonsense (purple) to PKD1 cause ADPKD. Mutations are found throughout the gene. Figure 1-3. Intracranial aneurysms occur in a minority of ADPKD families. This diagram shows that mutations that effect the first part of polycystin-1 are more often associated with aneurysms than those to the end of the protein. 2.

Kidneys remove waste products from your blood. They do this by filtering the blood and making urine. The urine carries waste products out of your body. What is polycystic kidney disease? Polycystic kidney disease (also called PKD) tends to run in families. Sacs of fluid (called cysts) grow in the kidneys. They are like little water balloons. If too many cysts grow or if they get too big, the kidneys are damaged. The cysts may be painful or get infected. Children of persons with PKD have a 50 percent chance of getting the disease.

All Health Topics A-Z Polycystic Kidney Disease Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a genetic disorder characterized by the growth of numerous cysts in the kidneys. The Polycystic Kidney Disease Foundation (PKDF) calls PKD the most common genetic, life threatening disease, affecting more people than cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, hemophilia, Down syndrome and sickle cell disease combined. (Read about " Cystic Fibrosis, " muscular dystrophy in " Neuromuscular Diseases, " hemophilia in " Bleeding Disorders, " " Down Syndrome " and " Sickle Cell Disease ") PKDF estimates over half a million people in the United States suffer with PKD. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) calls it the fourth leading cause of kidney failure. (Read about kidney failure in " End Stage Renal Disease ") The cysts, which are filled with fluid, can slowly replace much of the mass of the kidneys, reducing kidney function and leading to kidney failure. When PKD causes kidneys to fail - which usually happens only after many years, according to NIDDK - the patient requires dialysis or kidney transplantation. PDKF says that over half of people with the major type of PKD progress to kidney failure, i.e. end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The kidneys are two organs, each about the size of a fist, located in the upper part of a person's abdomen, toward the back. The kidneys filter wastes from the blood to form urine. They also regulate amounts of certain vital substances in the body. (Read about "

These complications help doctors distinguish PKD from the usually harmless "simple" cysts that often form in the kidneys in later years of life.

The cysts are filled with fluid. PKD cysts can slowly replace much of the mass of the kidneys, reducing kidney function and leading to kidney failure. PKD can cause cysts in the liver and problems in other organs, such as the heart and blood vessels in the brain. The most common symptoms are pain in the back and the sides (between the ribs and hips), and headaches. The dull pain can be temporary or persistent, mild or severe. People with autosomal dominant PKD also can experience the following: Urinary tract infections Hematuria (blood in the urine) Liver and pancreatic cysts Abnormal heart valves High blood pressure Kidney stones Brain Aneurysms (bulges in the walls of blood vessels) Diverticulosis (small sacs on the colon).

Solutions A to Z Polycystic Kidney Disease This hereditary kidney disorder occurs in two main forms. The more common form, known as adult polycystic disease (APCD), usually develops in adulthood but may, in rare cases, manifest itself in infancy or childhood. Much less common is infantile polycystic disease (IPCD), which is usually apparent soon after birth and is accompanied by liver abnormalities. In both forms of the disease, the kidney is riddled with fluid-filled growths called cysts. These cysts, which usually appear in both kidneys, severely impair kidney functioning. In the infantile form of the disease, the kidneys may be either enlarged or underdeveloped. Some infants also are born with a noninherited cystic kidney disorder called multicystic kidney of the newborn. This disorder, which usually affects only one kidney, occurs when the ureter (the tube to the bladder) develops abnormally, causing the kidney to degenerate into an irregular mass of cysts.

The Feline PKD FAQ Answers to Frequently Asked Questions About Polycystic Kidney Disease in Cats NOTE: In 2004, the University of California Davis developed a DNA test for PKD. It should be 100% accurate at any age. See the UC Davis Veterinary Genetics Lab web site for details Veterinary Diagnostics Center in Fairfield, Ohio has independently developed a DNA test for feline PKD. I participated in their testing by sending 4 samples, and the results were identical to previous scanned results (1 positive and 3 negatives). See the Veterinary Diagnostics Center web site for details. Last updated 7/1/2005. The following Frequently Asked Questions about PKD were last revised 5/30/2002. The genetic discussion should still be accurate. Information about diagnosis is obviously outdated, as noted above. Information on frequency, available treatments, outcome, etc., may or may not be current.

The cysts are filled mostly with fluid, but may contain semi-solid material. Over time (after many years), the cysts can replace most of the kidney and reduce its ability to remove the body's toxic wastes and reabsorb vital nutrients (i.e., renal or kidney failure).

Steve and Polycystic Kidney Disease - ADPKD- family fun and family health information Home Meet Topics Files Tour I had known for a long time that I had PKD (polycystic kidney disease.) I had inherited it from my mother Millie. My mother had died from a brain aneurysm (one of the symptoms of PKD) an hour after I was born. Almost more than anything, I wish I had a chance to know her. My father was devasted by my mother's death and mourned silently the rest of his life. I recently reviewed my mother's death certificate and realized that my parents had only been married for a year before she died. I have no siblings. Symptoms of my Polycystic Kidney Disease did not start to appear until I was 48 years old. I began to notice that I woke up with a pain in my abdomen every morning. I thought that this was just a belly ache, but after awhile I realized that the pain was from my enlarged kidneys. Since this is a genetic disease, I hope that my two daughters don't inherit this. To the left is a recent Christmas picture of my oldest daughter Monica and I. My sweetheart Monica is already dealing with enough from multiple handicaps not related to PKD.
