Presentation

METHODS: The clinical, biochemical, sonographic and histopathological findings in 186 members of six large Cypriot families with ADMCKD-1 are presented. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Entire Body System

  • Enuresis

    Secondary enuresis. Renal impairment. Renal failure with metabolic acidosis, anaemia, renal osteodystrophy and end-stage renal failure (ESRF). Once uraemia occurs - patients may have nausea, anorexia and generalised lethargy. [patient.info]

    A 6 year-old patient presents to your clinic with symptoms of polyuria, polydipsia, and nocturnal enuresis. You check a urine dip and it is negative for glucose and fasting glucose is normal. [hawaii.edu]

    Enuresis was defined as persistent bed wetting after the age of 4 years. [doi.org]

    The key symptom of MCKD is urinary concentrating defect that results in polyuria, secondary enuresis, and consistently drinking through the night. Acute gouty arthritis is another feature of this disorder. [renalandurologynews.com]

  • Congestive Heart Failure

    ADTKD may lead to the following health problems: Anemia Bone weakening and fractures Cardiac tamponade Changes in glucose metabolism Congestive heart failure End-stage kidney disease Gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers Hemorrhage (excessive bleeding) High [nlm.nih.gov]

    […] problems, including pericarditis or congestive heart failure haemorrhage (excessive bleeding) changes in glucose metabolism infertility menstrual problems miscarriage peripheral neuropathy (damage to the nerves of the peripheral nervous system) easy [betterhealth.vic.gov.au]

    Possible Complications ADTKD may lead to the following health problems: Anemia Bone weakening and fractures Cardiac tamponade Changes in glucose metabolism Congestive heart failure End-stage kidney disease Gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers Hemorrhage [mountsinai.org]

    […] which is difficult to control and can result in congestive heart failure Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease ( ADPKD ) Chronic renal failure Flank or abdominal pain Recurrent urinary tract infections Nephrolithiasis Extrarenal manifestations [amboss.com]

  • Recurrent Urinary Tract Infection

    urinary tract infections Nephrolithiasis Extrarenal manifestations Multiple hepatic cysts (in up to 70% of cases) ; cysts may also occur in the pancreas, spleen, ovary, and testicles Cardiovascular Signs of arterial hypertension (e.g., morning headaches [amboss.com]

    urinary tract infections are common presenting symptoms in select symptomatic patients. [appliedradiology.com]

  • Pallor

    Pallor is another characteristic finding. In contrast to other renal diseases in which the degree of anemia depends on the stage of renal insufficiency, in nephronophthisis, the severity of the anemia exceeds the degree of renal insufficiency. [emedicine.medscape.com]

    Symptoms that are common with kidney failure such as edema and pallor are rare on initial presentation. [lecturio.com]

Gastrointestinal

  • Failure to Thrive

    Nephronophthisis-medullary cystic disease In children, this disorder can lead to a failure to thrive, growth retardation, bone deformities, or muscle spasms caused by low calcium. Juveniles may have poor bone formation and neurologic abnormalities. [my.clevelandclinic.org]

    Common findings include a failure to thrive and weakness. Anorexia, nausea, pruritus, bone pain, and neurologic symptoms herald ESRD. Because of salt wasting, hypertension is rare, except in the infantile form of nephronophthisis. [emedicine.medscape.com]

    Unilateral or bilateral nephrectomy is performed in cases of respiratory compromise in neonates or when failure to thrive is present. Dialysis and transplantation are treatments of choice in end stage renal disease. [lecturio.com]

  • Blood in Stool

    […] bloody stools weight loss weakness seizures changes in mental state (confusion or altered alertness) coma If you have symptoms of MCKD, your doctor may order a number of different tests to confirm your diagnosis. [healthline.com]

Skin

  • Pachyonychia

    Novel and recurrent mutations in the genes encoding keratins K6a, K16 and K17 in 13 cases of pachyonychia congenital. J Invest Dermatol 2001 ; 117 : 1391 –6. ↵ Bross P, Corydon TJ, Andresen BS, Jorgensen MM, Bolund L, Gregersen N. [doi.org]

Musculoskeletal

  • Fracture

    ADTKD may lead to the following health problems: Anemia Bone weakening and fractures Cardiac tamponade Changes in glucose metabolism Congestive heart failure End-stage kidney disease Gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers Hemorrhage (excessive bleeding) High [nlm.nih.gov]

    Complications of MCKD Some of the complications associated with MCKD include: anaemia ulcers and bleeding of the gastrointestinal tract loss of bone density and increased risk of fractures infertility end-stage kidney disease high blood pressure (caused [betterhealth.vic.gov.au]

  • Short Arm

    License: Open Access ARPKD is caused by a mutation in the PKHD1 gene on the short arm of chromosome 6. The protein encoded by the gene is expressed by renal and hepatic epithelial cells, but its function remains only partially understood. [lecturio.com]

    The genes responsible for ADPKD include PKD1 (located on the short arm of chromosome 16 and encoding polycystin 1), PKD2 (located on the long arm of chromosome 4, encoding polycystin 2), and PKD3 (location not definitively known). [hawaii.edu]

Urogenital

  • Kidney Failure

    CONCLUSION: MUC1 mutation results in progressive chronic kidney failure with a bland urinary sediment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Although dialysis is a life-sustaining treatment, people with kidney failure may also be able to undergo a kidney transplant. MCKD leads to end-stage renal disease — in other words kidney failure will occur eventually. [healthline.com]

    As the disease progresses, kidney failure develops. Treatment may involve taking medicines and diet changes, limiting foods containing phosphorus and potassium. You may need dialysis and a kidney transplant. [nlm.nih.gov]

    leading to chronic kidney disease with kidney failure. [merckmanuals.com]

  • Polyuria

    The first sign of MCKD is polyuria; later, the clinical findings relate to renal insufficiency. Originally, NPH and MCKD were considered separate entities. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Nephronophthisis and autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease cause inability to concentrate urine (with polydipsia and polyuria), sodium wasting, anemia, and ESRD. [merckmanuals.com]

    Symptoms typically appear at an average age of 28 years and may include polyuria (excessive production or passage of urine) and low urinary osmolality (decreased concentration) in the first morning urine. [diseaseinfosearch.org]

    Other clinical features at presentation can include abdominal pain, palpable abdominal masses, hematuria (gross or microscopic), polyuria with a urinary concentrating defect, UTI, or hernias. [hawaii.edu]

  • Renal Insufficiency

    The patient in the index case presented with renal insufficiency as a child. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Thirty-four subjects suffered from hyperuricaemia and 28 suffered from renal insufficiency. The pedigrees for families 2 and 3 identify all subjects who suffered from hyperuricaemia or renal insufficiency. [doi.org]

    Later, symptoms of renal insufficiency typically progress to include anemia, metabolic acidosis and uremia. End stage renal disease (ESRD) eventually follows. [diseaseinfosearch.org]

  • Nocturnal Enuresis

    A 6 year-old patient presents to your clinic with symptoms of polyuria, polydipsia, and nocturnal enuresis. You check a urine dip and it is negative for glucose and fasting glucose is normal. [hawaii.edu]

Neurologic

  • Cerebellar Ataxia

    Cerebellar ataxia (Joubert's syndrome). Liver fibrosis. Differential diagnosis Polycystic kidney disease Chronic pyelonephritis Urinary tract obstruction Investigations Hyponatraemia may occur if sodium intake is reduced for any reason. [patient.info]

Workup

Acute Kidney Injury Workup. Medscape Reference. Available online at http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/243492-workup#c13. Accessed May 2016. (April 2014) Seaborg E. New Biomarkers Offer Hope for Identifying Acute Kidney Injury Risk. [labtestsonline.it]

Serum

  • Uric Acid Increased

    This decreased concentrating ability probably results in increased urinary salt and water excretion, resulting in increased proximal tubular reabsorption of uric acid. [doi.org]

Other Pathologies

  • Lymphocytic Infiltrate

    In case 3, tubules were ensheathed by dense acellular hyaline material. 3 In family 4, biopsy samples showed focal tubular atrophy with interstitial fibrosis and lymphocytic infiltration. [doi.org]

Treatment

Treatment for MCKD MCKD is a slow, progressive disease. There is no cure. Treatment aims to manage the symptoms and decrease the risk of complications. [betterhealth.vic.gov.au]

Therefore, it may represent a treatment of choice in MCKD1 patients with ESRD. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Lifelong treatment may control the symptoms of chronic kidney disease. [nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis

Prognosis for ARPKD Prognosis varies considerably. Patients who are born with oligohydramnios most often die due to pulmonary complications. [lecturio.com]

Sep 11, 2005 316 1 241 33 Status Medical Student #1 Both have "cysts" in the medulla but Medullary Cystic has a poor prognosis, and medullary sponge kidney is benign with just a predisposion to kidney stones (and less often, hematuria and UTI's). [forums.studentdoctor.net]

Treat associated renal failure - usually haemodialysis followed by renal transplantation (the illness does not recur in the transplanted kidney). [ 1, 2 ] Prognosis Most children will develop renal failure by mean age of 13 years. [patient.info]

Outlook (Prognosis) The age at which people with ADTKD reach end-stage kidney disease varies, depending on the form of the disease. It can be as young as in the teens or in older adulthood. [mountsinai.org]

Etiology

Etiology and Pathophysiology of MCK MCK presents in two types, and both are inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. [lecturio.com]

[…] renal calices → possibly caused by secondary hyperparathyroidism References: [3] [2] Pathology Differential diagnoses Multicystic dysplastic kidneys Definition : renal dysplasia with multiple cystic dilatation of nephrons during embryonic development Etiology [amboss.com]

We also propose that hypokalemia induced tissue proliferation may, at least in some cases, be the etiological factor for the often described association of renal tubular acidosis and cystic disease of the kidney. [bmcnephrol.biomedcentral.com]

Epidemiology

Multicystic Dysplastic Kidney (MCDK) Epidemiology of MCDK MCDK is one of the most frequent congenital kidney disorders. [lecturio.com]

Definition / general Sporadic cystic disease characterized by bilateral cystic dilations of medullary collecting ducts; normal cortex Epidemiology 1 per 5000 births; no gender preference; not familial Associated with hemihypertrophy of body (25% of cases [pathologyoutlines.com]

Epidemiology Incidence ADPKD : ∼ 1/1,000 ; one of the most common inherited kidney diseases in humans ARPKD : ∼ 1/20,000 References: [1] [2] Epidemiological data refers to the US, unless otherwise specified. [amboss.com]

[…] recessive and patients develop end-stage renal failure (ESRF) by adolescence. [ 1, 2 ] The protein products, named nephrocystins, which become abnormal in this disorder, have primarily a function in cilial structures (making it a ' ciliopathy '). [ 3 ] Epidemiology [patient.info]

Pathophysiology

Etiology and Pathophysiology of MCK MCK presents in two types, and both are inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. [lecturio.com]

Definition Pathophysiology Classification (or lack thereof) Diseases 3. Cyst: fluid-filled sac that grows on the surface of, or within the kidney Generally arise from renal tubules 6. [slideshare.net]

Conclusion The association of cystic renal disease with hypokalemia, and the possible pathophysiological basis of the development of renal cysts in patients with severe hypokalemia, are discussed. [bmcnephrol.biomedcentral.com]

"Hyperuricemia and the Risk of Heart Failure: Pathophysiology and Therapeutic Implications". Front Endocrinol (Lausanne). 12: 770815. doi:10.3389/fendo.2021.770815. PMC 8633872. [en.wikipedia.org]

Improved understanding of pathophysiologic mechanisms has led to development and testing of novel drugs for some of these diseases. [appliedradiology.com]

Prevention

Prevention of primary manifestations: Treatment of hyperuricemia with allopurinol can prevent development of gout. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Frequent turning of the infant or bedridden child helps to prevent decubitus ulcers and lessens the danger of pneumonia, a constant threat to these children. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

Prevention Medullary cystic kidney disease is an inherited disorder. It may not be preventable. References Bleyer AJ, Kidd K, Živná M, Kmoch S. Autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease. Adv Chronic Kidney Dis. 2017;24(2):86-93. [mountsinai.org]

These mutations alter the structure of the protein, preventing its release from kidney cells. Abnormal buildup of uromodulin may trigger the self-destruction (apoptosis) of cells in the kidneys, causing kidney disease. [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]
