Autopsy of a 45-year-old Man with Liver Failure Due to Polycystic Liver Disease
Intern Med. 2024 Feb 1. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.2485-23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 37-year-old man with autosomal polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) was admitted to our hospital with a liver volume of 8,000 cm3. Hepatic arterial embolization was performed using a microcoil but was ineffective. Eight years later, the hepatomegaly progressed to liver failure and death. At autopsy, the liver weighed 21.5 kg, and the entire liver had been replaced by cysts; in the few remaining areas of liver parenchyma, microscopic, small cysts of various sizes and fibrosis were evident, with only a few normal hepatocytes observed....

Genetics of kidney disorders in Phelan-McDermid syndrome: evidence from 357 registry participants
ConclusionsThe candidate genes for kidney disorders includeFBLN1,WNT7B,UPK3A,CELSR1, andPLXNB2. This study demonstrates the utility of patient registries for uncovering genetic contributions to rare diseases. Future work should focus on functional studies for these genes to assess their potential pathogenic contribution to the different subsets of kidney disorders.Graphical abstractA higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available asSupplementary information (Source: Pediatric Nephrology)

TMEM216 promotes primary ciliogenesis and Hedgehog signaling through the SUFU-GLI2/GLI3 axis
Sci Signal. 2024 Jan 23;17(820):eabo0465. doi: 10.1126/scisignal.abo0465. Epub 2024 Jan 23.ABSTRACTPrimary cilia are enriched in signaling receptors, and defects in their formation or function can induce conditions such as polycystic kidney disease, postaxial hexadactyly, and microphthalmia. Mammalian Hedgehog (Hh) signaling is important in the development of primary cilia, and TMEM216, a transmembrane protein that localizes to the base of cilia, is also implicated in ciliogenesis in zebrafish. Here, we found that Tmem216-deficient mice had impaired Hh signaling and displayed typical ciliopathic phenotypes. These phenomena...

Genes, Vol. 15, Pages 91: The Pathophysiology of Inherited Renal Cystic Diseases
Raina
Renal cystic diseases (RCDs) can arise from utero to early adulthood and present with a variety of symptoms including renal, hepatic, and cardiovascular manifestations. It is well known that common RCDs such as autosomal polycystic kidney disease and autosomal recessive kidney disease are linked to genes such as PKD1 and PKHD1, respectively. However, it is important to investigate the genetic pathophysiology of how these gene mutations lead to clinical symptoms and include some of the less-studied RCDs, such as autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease, multicystic dysplastic kidney, Zellweger syndrome...

Comparison between Retroperitoneal Laparoscopic Nephrectomy and Traditional Open Nephrectomy to Treat Polycystic Kidney Disease before Kidney Transplantation
CONCLUSION: Both retroperitoneal laparoscopic nephrectomy and traditional open surgery are feasible to treat huge polycystic nephrectomy. However, patients who undergo retroperitoneal laparoscopic nephrectomy experience higher levels of safety and recover more rapidly.PMID:38192077 | DOI:10.22037/uj.v20i.7826 (Source: Urology Journal)

PKD1 Truncating Mutations Accelerate eGFR Decline in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease Patients
CONCLUSION: In longitudinal and survival analyses, patients with PKD1 truncating mutations showed a faster decline in kidney function compared to patients PKD1 non-truncating mutations. Early identification of patients with PKD1 truncating mutations can, at best, inform early clinical interventions or, at least, help suggest aggressive monitoring.PMID:38194940 | DOI:10.1159/000536165 (Source: American Journal of Nephrology)

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease with ectopic unilateral multicystic kidney: a case report
ConclusionIn most ADPKD patients, bilateral kidneys are similarly affected. Only a few cases of ADPKD with ectopic unilateral multicystic kidney have been reported. It has been observed that the deterioration of their kidney function seemed to be quicker than their age- and sex-matched controls and siblings especially when the ectopic kidney is dysplastic.

Peritoneal Dialysis Care for People with Diabetes, Polycystic Kidney Disease, or Advanced Liver Disease
Clin J Am Soc Nephrol. 2024 Jan 8. doi: 10.2215/CJN.0000000000000420. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPeople treated with peritoneal dialysis (PD) often have complicating conditions that require careful management. Three such conditions are reviewed in this article - diabetes mellitus, polycystic kidney disease (PKD) and chronic liver disease. Each of these conditions requires an understanding of both its impact on the delivery of the PD, as well as the impact of the PD on the condition itself. With respect to diabetes, glucose absorption from the dialysate complicates metabolic control, impacts on salt and water management ...

Kidney organoid models reveal cilium-autophagy metabolic axis as a therapeutic target for PKD both in vitro and in vivo
Cell Stem Cell. 2024 Jan 4;31(1):52-70.e8. doi: 10.1016/j.stem.2023.12.003.ABSTRACTHuman pluripotent stem cell-derived kidney organoids offer unprecedented opportunities for studying polycystic kidney disease (PKD), which still has no effective cure. Here, we developed both in vitro and in vivo organoid models of PKD that manifested tubular injury and aberrant upregulation of renin-angiotensin aldosterone system. Single-cell analysis revealed that a myriad of metabolic changes occurred during cystogenesis, including defective autophagy. Experimental activation of autophagy via ATG5 overexpression or primary cilia ablation ...

GSE223675 Clinical-grade human skin-derived ABCB5+ mesenchymal stromal cells exert modulatory functions on mRNA expression in a cisplatin-induced kidney injury murine model
Contributors : Daniele Christina ; Gretz NobertSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Rattus norvegicusAcute kidney injury (AKI) is characterized by a rapid reduction in renal function and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The broadly used anti-cancer chemotherapeutic agent cisplatin often induces AKI as an adverse drug side effect. Therapies targeted at the reversal of AKI and its potential progression to chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease are currently insufficiently effective. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) possess diverse immunomodulatory properties that confer upon...

Role of MCP-1 as an inflammatory biomarker in nephropathy
The Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), also referred to as chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2), belongs to the extensive chemokine family and serves as a crucial mediator of innate immunity and tissue inflammation. It has a notable impact on inflammatory conditions affecting the kidneys. Upon binding to its receptor, MCP-1 can induce lymphocytes and NK cells’ homing, migration, activation, differentiation, and development while promoting monocytes’ and macrophages’ infiltration, thereby facilitating kidney disease-related inflammation. As a biomarker for kidney disease, MCP-1 has made notable advancements in primary k...
