A Practical Guide for Treatment of Rapidly Progressive ADPKD with Tolvaptan

Abstract: In the past, the treatment of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) has been limited to the management of its symptoms and complications. Recently, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved tolvaptan as the first drug treatment to slow kidney function decline in adults at risk of rapidly progressing ADPKD. Full prescribing information approved by the FDA provides helpful guidelines but does not address practical questions that are being raised by nephrologists, internists, and general p… Show more

“…Vaptans that antagonize V2 receptors in the kidney have been used clinically to treat chronic hyponatremia (Schrier et al, 2006). In addition, one of the vaptans, namely tolvaptan, has been shown to slow the progression of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (Torres et al, 2012) and has recently been approved by the US FDA for this purpose (Chebib et al, 2018).…”

“…Moreover, effective management of increasing comorbidities with advancing disease stage, including heart failure and hyperkalemia, may offer further potential for cost reductions. Novel treatments for ADPKD are currently the subject of several clinical trials, and, in 2018, one treatment received regulatory approval in the US for the treatment of ADPKD in patients at risk of rapidly progressing disease [52][53][54][55][56][57]. These treatments have the potential help alleviate the burden of ADPKD for both individuals living with this disease, and their caregivers.…”

“…Determination of TKV may not be appropriate to monitor the efficacy of tolvaptan. Indeed, a recently published review, which contains a practical guide for treatment of rapidly progressive ADPKD with tolvaptan, does not recommend annual TKV measurements to monitor efficacy of the therapy [15]. Further cohort studies of ADPKD patients who undergo tolvaptan treatment for a long period are needed to determine whether annual TKV measurements can predict eGFR decline and would also be informative in regard to other factors.…”
