Abstract Background: Although renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) blockade has been shown to reduce cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the general population and high risk subjects, their protective effect in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) patients under dialysis was still unknown. Methods: By using the database from 1995 to 2008 Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database (Registry for Catastrophic Illnesses), we included 387 ADPKD patients who received dialysis therapy, aged ≥18 year-old, and with no evidence of CVD events in 1997 and 1998. We utilized Cox proportional hazards regression analysis and propensity score matching to evaluate adjusted hazard ratios for all-cause mortality and CVD events in users (n=231) and nonusers (n=156) of an angiotensin-converting enzymes inhibitor (ACEI) / angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) during the 12 years of follow-up. Results: All study subjects were followed up for more than 3 months. Compared with the control group, the ACEI/ARB treatment group did not have favorable outcome including acute coronary syndromes, receiving coronary intervention, cerebral vascular events, peripheral artery disease, heart failure and overall mortality. The results remain similar between groups before and after propensity score matching. Moreover, there was no significant difference in outcomes between ACEI/ARB treatment over 50% of follow-up period and without ACEI/ARB treatment after propensity score matching. Conclusions: We found ACEI or ARB usage is not associated with a reduction of cardiovascular events and survival benefit in our nationwide cohort study of ADPKD patient on dialysis from Taiwan. Further larger scale, multicenter and randomized control trials are warranted to show the causal association.

Background: There is a perception that patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) are more likely to develop kidney stones than the general population. Objective: To compare the rate of hospital encounter with kidney stones and the rate of stone interventions between patients with and without ADPKD. Design: Retrospective cohort study. Setting: Ontario, Canada. Patients: Patients with and without ADPKD who had a prior hospital encounter between 2002 and 2016. Measurements: Rate of hospital encounter with kidney stones and rate of stone intervention. Methods: We used inverse probability exposure weighting based on propensity scores to balance baseline indicators of health between patients with and without ADPKD. We followed each patient until death, emigration, outcomes, or March 31, 2017. We used a Cox proportional hazards model to compare event rates between the two groups. Results: Patients with ADPKD were at higher risk of hospital encounter with stones compared with patients without ADPKD (81 patients of 2094 with ADPKD [3.8%] vs 60 patients of 1902 without ADPKD [3.2%]; 8.9 vs 5.1 events per 1000 person-years; hazard ratio 1.6 [95% CI, 1.3-2.1]). ADPKD was not associated with a higher risk of stone intervention (49 of 2094 [2.3%] vs 47 of 1902 [2.4%]; 5.3 vs 3.9 events per 1000 person-years; hazard ratio 1.2 [95% CI = 0.9-1.3]). Limitations: We did not have information on kidney stone events outside of the hospital. There is a possibility of residual confounding. Conclusion: ADPKD was a significant risk factor for hospital encounters with kidney stones.

Background: Long-term clinical outcomes in children with very-early onset (VEO; diagnosis in utero or within the first 18 months of life) autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) are currently not well understood. We conducted a longitudinal retrospective cohort study to assess the association between VEO status and adverse clinical outcomes. Methods: Seventy patients with VEO-ADPKD matched (by year of birth, sex and race/ethnicity) to 70 patients with non-VEO-ADPKD who participated in research at the University of Colorado were studied. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed. The predictor was VEO status, and outcomes were progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), development of hypertension, progression to estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR <90 ml/min/1.73 m2), glomerular hyperfiltration (eGFR ≥140 ml/min/1.73 m2) and height-adjusted total kidney volume (htTKV) measured by MRI ≥600 ml/m. Results: Median follow-up was until 16.0 years of age. There were only 4 ESRD events during the follow-up period, all in the VEO group (p < 0.05). VEO patients were more likely to develop hypertension (hazard ratio, HR 3.15, 95% CI 1.86-5.34; p < 0.0001) and to progress to eGFR <90 ml/min/1.73 m2 (HR 1.97, 95% CI 1.01-3.84; p < 0.05) than non-VEO patients. There was no difference between groups in the development of glomerular hyperfiltration (HR 0.89, 95% CI 0.56-1.42; p = 0.62). There were only 7 patients who progressed to htTKV ≥600 ml/m, 4 in the VEO group and 3 in the non-VEO group (p < 0.01). Conclusions: Several clinical outcomes are worse in patients with VEO-ADPKD compared to non-VEO ADPKD. Children with VEO-ADPKD represent a particularly high-risk group of ADPKD patients.

Abstract Background and Aims Overweight or obese patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) are associated with the decline of glomerular filtration rate. However, little is known about the annual rate of change in total kidney volume (TKV) in patients with ADPKD according to the body mass index (BMI) corrected by TKV and total liver volume (TLV). Method We analyzed 364 patients with ADPKD from the KoreaN Cohort Study for Outcomes in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease. We compared the changes in TKV in less than 1-year, 2-years and 4-year follow-up from patients by dividing baseline body mass index (BMI) by 18.5 to 22.9 (normal), 23 to 24.9 (overweight), and &gt; 25 kg/m2 (obesity). Results During the 4-year follow-up period, TKV tended to increase statistically with increasing BMI (P = 0.032). Similarly, higher BMI group showed higher TKV than lower BMI group (P = 0.016). Conventional BMI is affected by TKV and TLV in advanced ADPKD patients. Therefore, we reclassified patients by corrected BMI using the adjusted body weight (body weight – TKV – TLV). Although the statistical significances between absolute value of TKV and corrected BMI groups were disappeared during the follow-up, TKV% change/year showed significantly higher in ADPKD patients with obesity among corrected BMI groups (normal; 20.2%, overweight; 17.6% and obesity; 30.6%, P for trend = 0.022) Conclusion Even after correcting the TKV and TVL, obese patients showed a high of TKV% change/year compared to non-obese patients with ADPKD.
