Background Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is characterized by progressive enlargement of cyst-filled kidneys. Methods
The rate of renal disease progression varies widely among patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), necessitating optimal patient selection for enrollment into clinical trials. Patients from the Mayo Clinic Translational PKD Center with ADPKD (n=590) with computed tomography/magnetic resonance images and three or more eGFR measurements over $6 months were classified radiologically as typical (n=538) or atypical (n=52). Total kidney volume (TKV) was measured using stereology (TKVs) and ellipsoid equation (TKVe). Typical patients were randomly partitioned into development and internal validation sets and subclassified according to height-adjusted TKV (HtTKV) ranges for age (1A-1E, in increasing order). Consortium for Radiologic Imaging Study of PKD (CRISP) participants (n=173) were used for external validation. TKVe correlated strongly with TKVs, without systematic underestimation or overestimation. A longitudinal mixed regression model to predict eGFR decline showed that log 2 HtTKV and age significantly interacted with time in typical patients, but not in atypical patients. When 1A-1E classifications were used instead of log 2 HtTKV, eGFR slopes were significantly different among subclasses and, except for 1A, different from those in healthy kidney donors. The equation derived from the development set predicted eGFR in both validation sets. The frequency of ESRD at 10 years increased from subclass 1A (2.4%) to 1E (66.9%) in the Mayo cohort and from 1C (2.2%) to 1E (22.3%) in the younger CRISP cohort. Class and subclass designations were stable. An easily applied classification of ADPKD based on HtTKV and age should optimize patient selection for enrollment into clinical trials and for treatment when one becomes available.
MR measures of renal and cyst volume are reliable and accurate in patients with ADPKD. ADPKD is characterized by significant cystic involvement that increases with age. Structure (renal and cyst volume) and function (GFR) are inversely related and directly related with the presence of hypertension and urinary albumin excretion in individuals with normal renal function.
SummaryBackground and objectives Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is characterized by increased total kidney volume (TKV) and renal failure. This study aimed to determine if height-adjusted TKV (htTKV) predicts the onset of renal insufficiency.Design, setting, participants, & measurements This prospective, observational, longitudinal, multicenter study included 241 adults with ADPKD and preserved renal function. Magnetic resonance imaging and iothalamate clearance were used to measure htTKV and GFR, respectively. The association between baseline htTKV and the attainment of stage 3 CKD (GFR ,60 ml/min per 1.73 m 2 ) during follow-up was determined.Results After a mean follow-up of 7.9 years, stage 3 CKD was attained in 30.7% of the enrollees. Using baseline htTKV, negative correlations with GFR increased from 20.22 at baseline to 20.65 at year 8. In multivariable analysis, a baseline htTKV increase of 100 cc/m significantly predicted the development of CKD within 8 years with an odds ratio of 1.48 (95% confidence interval: 1.29, 1.70). In receiver operator characteristic curve analysis, baseline htTKV of 600 cc/m most accurately defined the risk of developing stage 3 CKD within 8 years with an area under the curve of 0.84 (95% confidence interval: 0.79, 0.90). htTKV was a better predictor than baseline age, serum creatinine, BUN, urinary albumin, or monocyte chemotactic protein-1 excretion (P,0.05).Conclusions Baseline htTKV $600 cc/m predicted the risk of developing renal insufficiency in ADPKD patients at high risk for renal disease progression within 8 years of follow-up, qualifying htTKV as a prognostic biomarker in ADPKD.
The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence of hepatic cysts by age and gender in patients with early autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and to determine whether hepatic cyst volume is related to renal and renal cyst volumes by using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A total of 230 patients with ADPKD (94 men and 136 women) who were aged 15 to 46 yr and had relatively preserved renal function were studied. MRI images of the kidney and liver were obtained to measure renal, renal cyst, and hepatic cyst volumes. These volume measurements and hepatic cyst prevalence were compared in all patients and in subgroups on the basis of gender and age (15 to 24, 25 to 34, and 35 to 46 yr). The overall prevalence of hepatic cysts was 83%; the prevalence was 58, 85, and 94% in the sequential age groups and 85% in women and 79% in men. The prevalence was related directly to renal volume ( 2 ؍ 4.30, P ؍ 0.04) and to renal cyst volume ( 2 ؍ 5.59, P ؍ 0.02). The total hepatic cyst volume was significantly greater in women than in men (a logarithmic transformation mean of 5.27 versus 1.94 ml; P ؍ 0.003). The average hepatic cyst volume was 0.25, 5.75, and 22.78 ml in sequential age groups. Hepatic cysts are evident in 94% of patients who are older than 35 yr and in 55% of individuals who are younger than 25 yr. Hepatic cysts are more prevalent and larger in total cyst volume in women than in men. Hepatic cyst prevalence and aggregate total hepatic cyst volume increased with age.
