The evolution of renal failure was compared in 47 patients (21 male, 26 female) with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) in Germany, France, Spain, and Portugal who had undergone uninephrectomy (UNX) (median age at uninephrectomy, 41 yr; range, 22 to 54) and 47 non-UNX matched controls. UNX was usually performed because of uncontrolled urinary tract infection (N = 30), stones (N = 8), trauma (N = 2), or hemorrhage (N = 7). Median serum creatinine at UNX was 2.1 mg/dL (0.9 to 4.3). Twenty-eight of the 47 uninephrectomized patients progressed to end-stage renal failure. When the age at renal death was evaluated by survival analysis, only minor and nonsignificant acceleration was seen in the uninephrectomized patients (median, 50 yr; p25 = 43.6 yr; p75 = 58.3 yr, where p is the percentile) compared with non-UNX patients matched for age, sex, and serum creatinine at the time of UNX in the propositus (51.2 yr; p25 = 48.6 yr; p75 = 56.1 yr). In addition, the median interval for serum creatinine to rise from 4 to 8 mg/dL was similar in UNX (21.3 months) versus nonuninephrectomized ADPKD patients (21.9 months). Renal survival differed in the two genders. In females, no significant difference of age at renal death was found between UNX (median age, 51.6 yr) and non-UNX ADPKD patients (53.7 yr). In male UNX patients, age at renal death was slightly (but not significantly) less than in non-UNX patients (median age, 47.3 versus 52.7 yr). All male patients reaching end-stage renal failure before age 44 were severely hypertensive.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common inheritable cause of end stage renal disease and, as of today, only a single moderately effective treatment is available for patients. Even though ADPKD research has made huge progress over the last decades, the precise disease mechanisms remain elusive. However, a wide variety of cellular and animal models have been developed to decipher the pathophysiological mechanisms and related pathways underlying the disease. As none of these models perfectly recapitulates the complexity of the human disease, the aim of this review is to give an overview of the main tools currently available to ADPKD researchers, as well as their main advantages and limitations.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a genetic systemic disorder causing the development of renal and hepatic cysts and decline in renal function. It affects around 1 in 1,000 live births. Early hypertension and progressive renal failure due to massive enlargement of cysts and fibrosis are hallmarks of the disease. This article reviews recent advances in ADPKD and focuses mainly on diagnosis, management, and prediction of the course of the disease.

End-stage renal disease secondary to autosomal dominant poly-cystic kidney (ADPKD) is a common issue worldwide. Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a reasonable option for renal replacement therapy for these patients and should not be withheld due to concerns that the patient may not tolerate the fluid volumes in the peritoneal cavity. This review covers the existing data on the outcomes and complications associated with the use of PD in the polycystic kidney disease patient. In general, PD is well tolerated and outcomes in ADPKD patients are equivalent to or better than other patient groups.
