    Extractions: $nbsp; Polycystic Kidney Disease by Colleen Power Is your cat drinking a lot of water? Does it visit the litter pan a bit too often? In 1978, my three year old white Persian stud began exhibiting these symptoms one day. Each time I passed the bathroom, there he was in the litter pan. After the third time past the door, with him back in the litter pan, I immediately thought, renal blockage. Whipped him up and over to the vet. That was not the problem. He was simply urinating too frequently. So frequently in fact that the vet called it "Polyuria." There was no blockage, no crystal formations in the bladder. He was simply urinating frequently, to the extent that within six hours, he had become dehydrated. The vet pumped him full of fluids, peritoneally(through the abdominal wall) He did x-rays to look for tumors. He then gave me the bad news. The cat likely had a progressive kidney disease that they didnt know much about, called Polycystic Kidney Disease. The cats would experience episodes of polyuria over a one year period before succumbing to the disease. Upon autopsy, they would find lesions on the kidneys, the cause was not known, but the disease was progressive, and the diagnosis: incurable. However, my cat could go home, live a happy, but short life, with increasingly frequent episodes, before he would eventually die. Supportively he received renal tablets(Renaseptic), and of course, some antibiotics. Apollo was fine for six months. I did not stress him with breedings. In fact, I was in the middle of moving and had placed nearly all of the cats, except Apollo and my two folds.

30. Feline Symposium - Polycystic Kidney Disease In Cats
    Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is the most common genetic disease of human polycystic kidney disease in a family of Persian cats.  
    http://www.netcat.org/symposium/PKD.html
    
    Extractions: Diplomate, American College of Veterinary Radiology College of Veterinary Medicine Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is the most common genetic disease of human beings, and has recently been recognized in cats. This disease is characterized by progressive development of fluid filled cysts within the kidneys, which distort the normal renal architecture and can lead to renal failure in many affected animals. The Persian breed and other breeds of Persian heritage are frequently affected. The simplest and most accurate method of identifying affected cats has been abdominal ultrasound, where the cysts appear as black round structures with acoustic enhancement within the renal cortex and medula. Studies have shown that ultrasound can correctly identify PKD in cats that are only 7 weeks of age. Provided that the cat is 10 months of age or older, over 95% of those cats that are affected with PKD can be accurately identified with ultrasound. Recently, many cat breeders have used ultrasound PKD screening clinics as a means to identify and potentially eliminate this disease from their bloodlines. To date, over 4400 cats in the United States have been evaluated with 37% of these cats diagnosed positive for the disease. This seminar will review the pertinent facts and literature about PKD with particular emphasis on diagnostic techniques used to evaluate PKD.

    Extractions: Melanie's PKD Page This page is all about PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease). Even though very few people have heard of it, Polycystic Kidney Disease affects 600,000 people in the U.S. alone, and 12.5 million world wide. There are more people with PKD than cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, hemophilia, Downs syndrome and sickle cell anemia combined. Many PKD patients find it useful to have access to the same information as their doctors because many doctors are unfortunately pretty unfamiliar with the disease. I will try to bring you as much information and sources about the disease as possible. If you have any questions about PKD for any reason, or if you know of anyone who has the disease and is looking for more information or for support groups I encourage you to contact any of the sources I have listed here, or to ask me a question . I would also appreciate an email if you have any pertinent information I should add to this page. PKD has been a profound part of my life so far, and will only continue to become more so. Likewise, the information on this page is just the beginning, and will continue to grow as time and research allows. If there is just one person out there that this page might help, I will be grateful for having the opportunity to make a difference.

    Extractions: Wilson's Disease Links Email Mama What is Polycystic Kidney Disease? Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is an inherited disease characterized by the growth of numerous cysts filled with fluid in the kidneys. PKD cysts can slowly replace much of the mass of the kidneys, reducing kidney function and leading to kidney failure. PKD can also cause cysts in the liver and problems in other organs, such as the heart and blood vessels in the brain. The cysts may also cause pain or may get infected. There are two types of PKD ( autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive Types? Autosomal dominant PKD is inherited. This kind of PKD accounts for about 90 percent of all PKD cases. The term "Autosomal dominant" means that if one parent has the disease, there is a 50 percent chance that the disease will pass to a child. Autosomal recessive PKD is also inherited. This type of PKD is rare. Parents that do not have the disease can have a child with the disease. How can this happen? Ib both parents carry the recessive gene and pass the recessive gene to their child, the child will have two recessive genes and develop the disease.(inherited). What are the symptoms of PKD?

    Extractions: Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a disorder that is characterized by the growth of numerous cysts in the kidneys. The cysts are filled with fluid. PKD cysts can replace much of the mass of the kidneys, thereby reducing kidney function and leading to kidney failure The kidneys are two organs, each about the size of a fist, that are located in the upper part of the abdomen, towards the back. The kidneys filter wastes from the blood to form urine. They also regulate amounts of certain vital substances in the body. When PKD causes kidneys to fail, which usually happens only after many years, the patient requires dialysis or kidney transplantation. About one-half of people with the primary form of PKD progress to kidney failure or end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

    http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/eid/vol3no2/miller.htm
    
    Extractions: Synopses 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 (

    Extractions: 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.
