Age at clinical onset and at ultrasonographic detection of adult polycystic kidney disease: Data for genetic counselling

Abstract: Few reports are available on the age-related risk of relatives of affected persons to manifest adult polycystic kidney disease (APKD). For 371 persons in 17 kindreds, at risk for APKD by virtue of having an affected first degree relative, we calculated the estimated probability of clinical diagnosis of APKD to be 0.011 by age 20, 0.041 by age 30, 0.115 by age 40, 0.299 by age 50, and 0.404 by age 60 years (expected = 0.50). Ultrasonographic examination of 172 asymptomatic persons at risk showed definite APKD i… Show more

“…A recent prospective study of structural and functional progression among 232 ADPKD patients with creatinine clearance Ͼ70 ml/min at enrollment documented average increases in total kidney volume of 204 Ϯ 246 ml over 3 years, and decrements in GFR of 4.3 Ϯ 8.1 ml/min per year in participants with baseline kidney volume Ͼ1500 ml (2). Incidence estimates for ESRD among ADPKD patients have ranged from 45% to 70% by age 65 years (3)(4)(5)(6). As a manifestation of its progressive course, ADPKD ranks as the fourth most common cause of ESRD among adults in the United States (7).…”
